Latasha Michelle Evans, 42, has filed a petition for the dissolution of her marriage to Mario Anton Wilson, 51, in Cook County Circuit Court. Their brief marriage, solemnized in December 2021, has crumbled under irreconcilable differences, and by September 2023, the couple had ceased living together. Evans, who represents herself in the case, detailed the collapse of their union in her October 16, 2024, filing, citing the irretrievable breakdown of their relationship with no path to reconciliation.

Evans and Wilson, both long-time residents of Chicago, are financially independent and have no children together. The petition asserts that both parties have lived in Illinois for over 90 days, establishing jurisdiction for the case.

The petition outlines Evans’s request for an equitable distribution of marital property and debts accumulated during their two-year marriage. With no minor children or other legal complexities, the dissolution appears focused primarily on the division of assets and liabilities. Evans seeks a swift resolution, asking the court to dissolve their union and approve a fair allocation of their remaining financial obligations.
