The dawn of the new year often brings resolutions, renewal, and fresh starts. But for Rohan Thomare, January 2, 2025, marked not a beginning, but an ending—a formal declaration that his marriage to Varsha Shenoy had reached a point of no return. With papers filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, and backed by his attorney, Simul Jhaveri of Jhaveri Gorajski Law LLC, Rohan sought to dissolve the bonds of matrimony that had held since their wedding day in Oakland, California, on November 7, 2019.

The breakdown, as detailed in the petition, was irretrievable. Irreconcilable differences had chipped away at the foundation of their relationship, leaving only the framework of a once-shared life that now stood empty. There would be no fight over children—there were none. There would be no drawn-out dispute over spousal support—their prenuptial agreement, signed in 2019, had ensured that. The agreement, Rohan argued, should stand as written: no maintenance, no financial entanglements, just a clean split.

But dissolving a marriage is never as simple as signing on the dotted line. Assets accumulated over five years had to be divided, debts parsed, and final legal threads untangled. Rohan requested that marital property be distributed equitably, his non-marital assets remain his, and each party cover their own legal expenses. The petition carried the weight of finality, a legal punctuation mark on a relationship that had run its course. Now, it was left to the court to untangle what time and circumstance had already unraveled.
