In the heart of Cook County, Illinois, Neomia Lewis, a resident of the Village of Westchester, filed for the dissolution of her marriage to Roosevelt Lewis of Chicago. Their journey, which began on November 15, 1963, spans six decades and is now met with an ending.

The grounds for this dissolution are simple, yet profound, “irreconcilable differences.” Neither party points fingers at the other. In the October 12, 2023 filing, Neomia, represented by Denise Brewer from The Brewer Law Group, LLC, lays out her heartfelt prayers. She seeks the equitable division of marital assets and debts, the claim to her non-marital property, and the opportunity to revert to her maiden name, “Neomia Moore.” It’s worth noting that child support, sole responsibility for children, and parental decision-making don’t apply, for the couple did not bring children into the world.

Both Neomia and Roosevelt are barred from seeking maintenance from one another, now and forevermore. This document encapsulates the intricacies of a marriage that endured for over half a century and now faces the challenge of dividing a lifetime of shared property and memories.

This document paints a portrait of an enduring marriage that now finds itself at a crossroads. Irreconcilable differences have led to a parting of ways, as Neomia seeks a new beginning and the closure of a chapter filled with shared experiences. It’s a tale of a 60-year journey that is now coming to a close, where the complexities of life and marriage are distilled into a few succinct pages.
