Micah Peace, 48, has filed for dissolution of marriage from Thanecia Richardson-Peace, 50, in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, on November 8, 2024. Represented by Jessica Handy-Burris of the Law Office of Jessica Handy-Burris, Peace cites irreconcilable differences as the cause of the breakdown of their 17-year marriage. The couple, married in Chicago in August 2007, has been living separately since August 2018.
The petition outlines Peace’s requests for equitable distribution of marital property and liabilities, including a 50/50 division of college expenses for their adult daughter, London, who is currently attending Illinois State University on scholarship. Peace seeks sole possession of specific vehicles and calls for equal division of pensions, while noting prior withdrawals by Richardson-Peace. He also asks for temporary maintenance and that Richardson-Peace be barred from receiving spousal support.
Additionally, Peace has requested that each party retain their respective non-marital properties and bank accounts. He emphasized mutual responsibility for legal fees and a fair allocation of debts incurred during their marriage.
Richardson-Peace is expected to respond to the petition, as the court prepares to weigh both parties’ claims. For now, the case sets the stage for a methodical untangling of years of shared life and finances.
