There was no storm, no courtroom scene, no contested custody or cries for support. Just a quiet filing—paperwork signaling the close of a five-year union. On May 21, 2025, in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, Alicja India Falbe initiated a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage against Dillian Reed Falbe.

The two, both 32, married on March 7, 2020, in Harris County, Texas. Since then, time and circumstance have led them down separate paths—she, a physical therapist in Chicago; he, a sales manager in Oklahoma. According to the petition filed by Alicja through her attorneys in George Pecherek & Associates, P.C., the pair have lived apart for over six months.

No children were born or adopted during their marriage. There are no significant marital assets to divide, no debts that bind them, and no request for maintenance from either party. The court is asked to dissolve the marriage, confirm the division of property, and bar spousal support—essentially, to seal what has already quietly come undone.

Both parties appear to have navigated the unraveling of their relationship with practical resolve, forgoing legal wrangling in favor of closure. The petition asserts that irreconcilable differences have rendered the marriage irretrievably broken and that further attempts at reconciliation would serve no purpose. What remains now is a judge’s signature and a final turning of the page.
