Jenny Goltz, a 44-year-old attorney and co-owner of Goltz Employment Law and Investigations, has turned to the Circuit Court of Cook County, seeking the dissolution of her 16-year marriage to Mitchell Goltz, a 43-year-old commercial property developer. Filed on September 26, 2025, her petition, crafted by the skilled hands at Davis Friedman, LLP, tells a story of a union long burdened by irreconcilable differences, now standing at the edge of an unbridgeable chasm.
Once, their marriage, solemnized in the vibrant heart of Chicago on May 19, 2009, thrived on ambition and a shared vision, a tapestry woven with dreams. Yet, as time flowed on, the currents of their lives shifted, leaving them adrift in the silence of separate existence for more than six months before this formal plea. Their narrative has, like many, condensed into the stark language of legal documents, a ritualistic unravelling of what had quietly frayed in the hidden corners of their home.
Two children, bright lights of their union, emerged during those years. In a tender bid to preserve their innocence amid the unfolding change, Jenny and Mitchell have crafted a Marital Settlement Agreement and a Parenting Plan. This document, a delicate negotiation of maintenance, custody, child support, education, and the division of both marital and non-marital property, seeks to shield their children from the storm. As they prepare to present this agreement to the court, it stands as a testament to their commitment to the little lives caught in the crossfire.
What remains now is the court’s acknowledgment of the inevitable: a marriage once filled with promise has reached its final chapter, a bittersweet conclusion to a story once steeped in hope
