What to Know About Divorce Laws in Illinois
Are you getting divorced in Orland Park? If so, it is useful to have an understanding of our state’s divorce laws. Here are five things to know about divorce in Illinois.Â
- A No-Fault Divorce State: Fault is no longer an issue in divorce in Illinois. Every couple that splits up in our state now does so on no-fault grounds. Â
- Three-Month (90-Day) Residency Rule: You can file for divorce in Illinois regardless of where you got married—but you must meet the state’s 90-day residency requirement.Â
- Contested or Uncontested Divorce Possible: Your divorce may be contested or uncontested. Whereas a contested divorce is litigated, an uncontested divorce is settled.Â
- Equitable Distribution of Marital Assets: Dividing property is one of the most challenging issues for divorcing couples. In Illinois, each spouse retains full ownership over separate property. Marital property is divided equitably (fairly) between the parties.Â
- Best Interests of the Child Custody: If you are a parent of a minor child, you will need to resolve custody and visitation in your divorce. Custody is now referred to officially as allocation of parental rights and responsibilities in Illinois. Any dispute over this issue is adjudicated in the best interests of the child. Â

Chester G.
This place is 1000% recommendable! So far the process has been super smooth and easy to deal with. They placed all my worries out the window and I've slept better knowing they are on my team. Currently in tears knowing I'll be able to resolve this but sad that it's never going to be the family I thought I could have had. It's ok though, it's time to move forward. Thanks DnD.
