In the pale autumn of Cook County, a marriage that began with promise in September of 2014 in Chicago now arrives at the courthouse not with anger but with the heavy stillness of something long eroded. Alyscia Bosetti, forty-six, has filed her Verified Petition for Dissolution of Marriage against Robert Telfer, forty-five, on September 25, 2025, her resolve carried into the Domestic Relations Division through the hands of her counsel, Joshua S. Singewald and Leslye C. Swigert of Singewald Law Firm.
There is a child, a daughter born in February 2017, whose presence threads through the petition like a quiet, undeniable tether. Alyscia asks the court to grant her the bulk of the parental responsibilities and the majority of parenting time, with Robert to share reasonable visitation by mutual agreement. The filing says the marriage has suffered irreconcilable differences, that for six months or more they have lived separate and apart, and that any effort at reconciliation would be both fruitless and unwise.
The petition moves deliberately through the counting of property—furniture, joint accounts, investments, retirement funds, a home, even the pets—as though cataloging the remnants of a once-shared life. Alyscia seeks an equitable division of these assets, the protection of her non-marital property, and support for their child’s future, including eventual college costs. She asks that Robert bear his own legal fees and contribute toward hers, as he is able.
In this courtroom plea, the end of a marriage is rendered not in sudden fracture but in the long unraveling, formalized at last on a fall morning in Cook County.
