Learn About Your Options for Divorce in Illinois

Divorces are all different. The uncontested divorce is when the spouses agree on the major issues like property division, parenting duties, child support and maintenance. A contested divorce is one where there is still disagreement and the issues may need to be resolved through negotiation, mediation or court proceedings. Illinois is a no-fault divorce state. This means a divorce can be granted when there are irreconcilable differences that have caused the marriage to break down beyond repair.

Legal Separation as an Alternative to Divorce

Some couples aren’t ready to end their marriage, but want a formal arrangement while living apart. In a legal separation, spouses are still married as far as the law is concerned, but ask the court to decide on specific issues, such as support and maintenance. Other financial or family matters may also be included depending on the circumstances and what the parties agree to. “Legal separation gives some families the time and structure to figure out what’s next.
