In the Circuit Court of Cook County, a marriage spanning over a decade is coming to an end. Jessica Duckins, 41, has filed for the dissolution of her marriage to Garryl Price, 42. The couple, who wed on August 24, 2013, in Chicago, have been separated since January 2023. Their union produced one child, Jordyn A. Price, born on August 29, 2014. The breakdown of their relationship stems from irreconcilable differences, exacerbated by persistent behaviors from Garryl that have caused Jessica significant anxiety and distress.
Jessica and Garryl have accumulated both marital property and debt over the years. The marital assets, including their home at 1927 North Lotus Avenue, Chicago, are to be equitably divided. Jessica seeks her fair share of the home’s equity, having contributed significantly to its maintenance and upkeep. Additionally, she requests reimbursement from Garryl for these contributions. Non-marital personal property acquired by Jessica is to be designated as her separate property.
Despite attempts at reconciliation, the persistent issues have led Jessica to seek legal dissolution, represented by attorneys Vickie L. Pasley and Khyra Kolidakis of the Law Offices of Vickie L. Pasley, Ltd. The petition, filed on July 22, 2024, requests equitable division of property and debt, and relief from the disproportionate financial burden she has borne. Jessica asserts that Garryl is capable of supporting himself without her financial assistance. The court is asked to dissolve the bonds of matrimony, providing Jessica the justice she seeks after a marriage marked by enduring challenges.
