Contested and Uncontested Divorce in Orland Hills

Many people who are planning to file for divorce in Orland Hills want to know how long their case will take. While the timetable for your divorce will depend upon a variety of factors that are particular to your circumstances, whether you will have an uncontested or contested divorce is a factor that is most likely to have an effect on the length of your case.

Uncontested divorces are cases in which both parties have come to an agreement about all matters pertaining to the divorce, including property division and child custody if there are children from the marriage. As soon as the parties cannot agree about one or more issues, then the divorce is a contested divorce, and the dispute must be resolved by the court. It is possible for parties to resolve disputes through family mediation, for example, in order to avoid the cost and time of court hearings.

Property Division in an Orland Hills Divorce

In an Illinois divorce, all property belonging to the parties must be classified as separate or marital property, including assets and debts. Separate property will not be divided, but marital property will need to be divided between the spouses according to the theory of equitable distribution. As an equitable distribution state, Illinois divides marital property between the spouses in a manner that the court considers to be fair or equitable based on the circumstances of both parties and various factors from the marriage.
