Amid the tapestry of human emotions, the Cook County courtroom bears witness to the unfolding saga of Brenda L. Gomez Serna and Elias Esqueda Gomez. On August 15, 2023, a chapter of their journey takes center stage as Brenda’s petition for the dissolution of their marriage is laid bare, echoing the profundities of James Baldwin’s narratives.
Married on August 5, 2016, their union bore the witness of time in the form of two children—Adiel Esqueda Gomez, born in 2016, and Saira Esqueda Gomez, a testament to their shared years, born in 2017. “Irreconcilable differences” are the words etched onto the parchment of their separation, unraveling the threads that once wove their lives together.
Brenda L. Gomez Serna’s prayers within the court filing encapsulate the multifaceted dimensions of their separation. The petitioner appeals for the dissolution of their marriage and the prohibition of maintenance support. Furthermore, Brenda seeks to be granted sole decision-making responsibility and residential custody for their minor children. The court is asked to establish a defined parenting schedule for Elias Esqueda Gomez.
In the realm of financial and property arrangements, Brenda L. Gomez Serna’s entreaties encompass equitable distribution of marital debts and assets, along with the just apportionment of her share of marital property. Notably, child support obligations are also a central plea, aligned with Illinois statutory guidelines. Additionally, both parties are urged to share the financial burden of the children’s education, health, extra-curricular activities, and other pertinent expenses.
Amidst the legal and emotional complexities of their separation, the court is presented with a constellation of prayers reflecting Brenda L. Gomez Serna’s hopes for an equitable and just resolution.
