As the echoes of a New Year bring aspirations of fresh starts, a different sort of resolution took shape in Cook County. On January 9, 2025, Quannette Bush-Pittman filed a petition for the dissolution of her marriage to Mario A. Pittman in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois. Represented by Katherine S. Mix of Morrison & Mix, Quannette’s legal filing paints a portrait of a union that has irretrievably broken down, with the couple living apart for over six months and all reconciliation attempts deemed unfeasible.
Quannette and Mario, married on August 12, 2017, in River Forest, share no children. The petitioner asserts ownership of certain non-marital assets and requests that marital property and debts be equitably divided. Notably, she seeks to preclude any maintenance payments between the parties, emphasizing that Mario, a capable and employed individual, can support himself without financial reliance on her.
The petition also addresses attorney fees, asking the court to order Mario to bear his own legal costs and contribute to Quannette’s. Furthermore, Quannette requests the right to revert to her maiden name, Bush, should she choose to.
This filing signals a legal turning point for the couple, whose paths, joined nearly eight years ago, have now diverged irrevocably. As represented by her meticulous attorney, Quannette’s petition highlights her determination to secure a just resolution, even as the calendar marks a new year.
