In a development that signals the end of a marital journey, Rachel Persfull, with representation from Angelini Ori + Abate Law, has submitted a petition seeking the dissolution of her marriage to Jeff Persfull. Hailing from Lemont, Cook County, Illinois, Rachel asserts her residency status, meeting the required 90-day threshold prior to the commencement of the legal action. Notably, there are no ongoing petitions for Legal Separation or Dissolution of Marriage involving the couple.

The marriage, which was solemnized on March 12, 2017, within the boundaries of Cook County, has been beset by irreconcilable differences according to Rachel’s claims. As part of the proceedings, Rachel not only asserts her capability for sole decision-making authority over their minor children but also seeks the majority of parenting time with them.

An intriguing aspect of the case involves two children born to Rachel prior to the marriage, and subsequently adopted by Jeff during their marital journey. Rachel’s petition emphasizes her suitability for receiving maintenance from Jeff, citing their disparate incomes and the lifestyle established during their marriage.

In addition to issues of parenting, maintenance, and the dissolution itself, the court will be called upon to address the equitable division of marital and non-marital property. The petition, dated August 16, 2023, signals the commencement of a significant legal process in Cook County, Illinois, scrutinizing the complex facets of Rachel and Jeff Persfull’s union.
