Filing for Divorce in Palos Hills, Illinois

Under the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act (750 ILCS 5/), the exclusive ground for divorce in our state is ‘irreconcilable differences.’ Indeed, Illinois is a ‘pure’ no-fault divorce jurisdiction. The most straightforward way to prove irreconcilable differences is by demonstrating a six-month separation from your spouse. That being said, there are also other ways to demonstrate the irretrievable breakdown of a marriage.

Property Division

Marital property in Illinois is subject to equitable distribution. A Cook County court will divide those assets in a ‘fair’ manner. In contrast, individual property is not subject to distribution. Of course, disputes can arise over what constitutes marital property. Our Palos Hills, IL divorce lawyers help clients dealing with the full range of property division issues, from negotiating mutually agreeable settlements to representation in litigation.

Spousal Maintenance

Depending on the length of your marriage, your financial circumstances, and other relevant factors, you may either be required to pay or entitled to receive spousal maintenance (alimony) after your divorce. In Illinois, spousal maintenance is more likely to be awarded after long marriages in which one party has a significantly higher income or earning potential. If you need help with spousal support, our Palos Hills divorce lawyer will protect your financial interests.

Allocation of Parental Responsibilities

Under Illinois law (750 ILCS 5/600), all child custody cases are resolved in the best interests of the child. Though, it should be noted that Illinois has phased out the use of the terms ‘custody’ and ‘visitation’ in favor of ‘allocation of parental responsibilities’ and ‘parenting time.’ Still, the core issues remain largely similar. If you are a parent who is separating in Palos Hills, we are here to help.

Client Reviews

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.
