August 27, 2025. Cook County courthouse. Paper filed. Case 2025D006132. Jesse Gomez wants out. He comes in with counsel—The Law Offices of Nichole M. Capraro, P.C.—and signs his name to the breakdown.
He says the marriage to Maria Baez Diaz is dead. They tied the knot April 16, 2019. Dominican Republic license. Six years on, the seams split. He says she abandoned him mid-July 2025. But the drift began earlier—May 2025, separate lives, no shared roof, no husband-wife act. No kids. No pregnancy. No ties binding them beyond property and paper.
Jesse says both can stand alone. He works, he supports himself. Maria, same deal—self-supporting, no dependency claims. The split is straight math: divide the assets, split the debts. Each keeps what’s theirs. The one big piece—real estate in N. Central, Chicago. That’s marital. He asks the court to cut it fair and square. Same for debts and obligations.
The words in the petition: irreconcilable differences. Irretrievable breakdown. No reconciliation possible. He wants the bonds of matrimony dissolved. He asks the judge: give each party their non-marital property, split the house and assets in just portions, assign the debts fairly.
End of line. The prayer is clean, direct. Break the marriage, balance the books, move on. Cook County court takes the case.
