In a heartfelt turn of events in Cook County, Illinois, Deana Schrager has taken a brave step by filing for the dissolution of her marriage to Stephen Schrager, a union that has endured for two decades. The couple, residents of Elk Grove Village, has faced the challenging decision to part ways after sharing their lives since their marriage in September 2003, and raising two children: Stephanie, now 24, and Natalie, now 18.
Their petition for divorce cites “irreconcilable differences,” emphasizing the mutual nature of their decision without assigning blame. Deana Schrager has entrusted Susan M. Lampert from Susan Lampert & Associates with her legal representation during this emotionally charged time.
Deana’s heartfelt prayers to the court reveal her desire for a just and equitable dissolution. Her requests encompass a judgment for the end of their marriage, a fair division of marital assets, a compassionate arrangement for alimony, and an equitable distribution of their shared debts. Additionally, she seeks acknowledgment of her non-marital property and requests that Stephen Schrager covers his attorney’s fees and related expenses.
Although their legal filing mentions the various assets accumulated during their time together, including real estate, furnishings, financial holdings, retirement accounts, vehicles, and business interests, it does not explicitly outline their preferred resolutions, leaving room for understanding and compromise.
The Schrager family’s decision to embark on this new chapter of their lives underscores the complexity of human relationships and the emotional toll of such transitions, marking a profound moment in their journey and within the Cook County community.
