In a recent filing on September 5, 2023, in the Cook County Circuit Court of Illinois, Martha Harbor (27) has initiated legal proceedings for the dissolution of her marriage to Zayveance Harbor (30). The couple, who wed on Valentine’s Day in 2014 in Jefferson County, Illinois, officially separated in late 2019.
Martha, currently incarcerated, is seeking the dissolution of her marriage under the provisions of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act 750 ILCS 5/401. She asserts that irreconcilable differences have led to an irretrievable breakdown of the marriage, with all efforts at reconciliation proving unsuccessful.
Martha, represented by the law firm Ascend Justice, is providing information about Zayveance Harbor, who is believed to be residing in Mount Vernon, IL.
The couple shares a complex history involving three children—one born before their marriage, and two more born during their union. All three children have been adopted, resulting in the termination of the parties’ parental rights.
Martha, asking to revert to her maiden name, Ellis, has requested the court to grant a judgment for the dissolution of their marriage and to distribute non-marital property and debts according to each party’s ownership. She also seeks to bar both parties from receiving maintenance.
This legal filing marks the formal commencement of what promises to be a complex and emotionally charged legal process, as Martha Harbor seeks the dissolution of her marriage to Zayveance Harbor.
