In Cook County, Illinois, Emily Willis has formally filed for divorce from Matthew Willis on October 30, 2024, citing irreconcilable differences that led to an irretrievable breakdown of their marriage. Represented by Boike Jonaitis Law LLC, Emily’s petition outlines the couple’s inability to reconcile, rendering further attempts impractical and contrary to the family’s best interests. The couple, married on June 12, 2010, in Boulder, Colorado, has been residents of Chicago for over 90 days prior to the filing and shares one child, born in 2015.
Emily’s petition requests joint decision-making responsibilities with Matthew on significant matters such as their child’s education, health, religion, and extracurricular activities. However, she seeks to be designated as the primary residential parent if a collaborative plan cannot be established.
In addressing financial aspects, Emily requests an equitable division of marital property while safeguarding her non-marital assets. She also seeks spousal support, citing a significant disparity in resources between herself and Matthew, and she requests that he cover her legal expenses. Emily emphasizes the necessity of a well-structured parenting arrangement to support their child’s stability, including shared contributions to educational, medical, and extracurricular costs.
