In a carefully laid petition filed on May 15, 2025, in Cook County, Illinois, Ellen Allt seeks to dissolve her marriage to Trevor Allt, marking the quiet end of a union that began in Denver, Colorado, nearly three years ago. Represented by The Muller Firm, Ltd., Ellen, 33, a resident of Tinley Park, presents a case grounded in irreconcilable differences and an irretrievable breakdown of the marriage. The couple shares a young child, just over a year old, whose well-being stands central in Ellen’s petition.
The narrative unfolds around her request for sole decision-making authority and majority parenting time, underscoring her belief that such an arrangement serves the child’s best interests amid failed reconciliation efforts. The petition further addresses the division of property—two pieces of real estate acquired during the marriage—and seeks a fair allocation of debts, while firmly stating that neither party should receive maintenance, as both are capable of self-support.
Ellen also asserts her right to retain premarital assets as separate property and asks that each party be responsible for their own legal fees. Throughout the document, a tone of reasoned finality prevails, reflecting a couple choosing to disentangle their lives with a measure of equity and respect despite their personal differences. The petition, signed under penalty of perjury, sets the stage for a measured resolution by the Cook County Domestic Relations Division.
