Description:
Chicago, Illinois family law divorce lawyers represented the parties.
¶ 5 Yasemin and Onur were married on June 16, 2016. They had one child, Arya. On June 23, 2017, Onur purchased a condominium located at 1322 S. Prairie Ave, Unit 402, Chicago (the condo), in his name alone. The mortgage was also taken out in his name alone. After the purchase, the family lived in the condo and, in January 2020, Yasemin's mother moved in as well.
¶ 6 In July 2020, Yasemin filed a petition for dissolution of marriage. Onur filed an appearance and then a counter-petition for dissolution.
¶ 7 By agreed order, on December 16, 2020, the court mandated that Onur pay the mortgage, home expenses, both parties' health insurance, $1100 per month in unallocated support, and Yasemin's phone bill. On January 28, 2021, the parties agreed Onur would pay Yasemin $10,000 as a predistribution of marital assets for moving expenses and a rental deposit to help Yasemin leave the condo. The court also appointed a GAL, whose retainer Onur was required to pay in full. ¶ 8 In October 2021, the court issued another agreed order appointing a new GAL and apportioning the retainer with Yasemin paying $750 and Onur paying $1750.
Outcome: Divorce granted.
