Filing for Divorce in Cook County

Your divorce—and most of the legal issues arising out of it—will likely be governed by the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act (750 ILCS 5/). Notably, Illinois is a ‘pure’ no fault divorce state. To get a divorce in Cook County, neither party is required to prove that their spouse did anything “wrong” that led to the breakdown of the marriage. Since 2016, the only ground for divorce in Illinois is irreconcilable differences.

Property Division

In Illinois, a divorcing couple’s marital property will be divided in an equitable manner. Individual property (non marital property) is not subject to distribution. Our Cook County, IL divorce lawyers have extensive experience advising clients dealing with complex property division matters—from business interests to retirement assets.

Spousal Maintenance (Alimony)

Previously known as alimony, spousal maintenance is awarded in some divorce cases in Illinois. Depending on each party’s financial circumstances and the length of the marriage, one spouse may be required to make ongoing payments to their former partner. If you have questions or concerns about spousal maintenance, our Cook County, IL divorce lawyers will get you answers.

Allocation of Parental Responsibilities

Parents going through a divorce face some unique challenges. Our Cook County divorce lawyers will protect your parental rights and your family. Notably, under Illinois law (750 ILCS 5/600), the term child custody has been replaced with the phrases “allocation of parental responsibilities” and “parenting time”—still, many of the issues remain similar. Disputes will be resolved based on the best interests of the child. If you have questions about child custody, child visitation, or your parental rights, our Cook County divorce lawyers are here to help.

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.
