Yorkville, Illinois Divorce Lawyers

In Illinois, there are three main areas which the courts must make critical decisions prior to ending your marriage: grounds, property and children.

A judge is required to find "grounds" to end a marriage. Illinois has adopted "no-fault" grounds called irreconcilable differences and there are several "fault" grounds as well.

A no-fault divorce requires that the parties live separate and apart for a two-year period, however, if the parties agree by a written document, they may obtain a divorce after living separate and apart for a period in excess of six months. The courts have generally found parties to be "separate and apart" even though they have been residing in the same home if they were using separate bedrooms, had limited or no communication and basically were not living as husband and wife. There are multiple fault grounds for divorce in Illinois including abandonment, adultery, alcohol abuse or drug addiction for two years, attempting to take the other spouse's life, bigamy, extreme and repeated physical or mental cruelty, felony conviction, impotence and infecting the other spouse with a sexually transmitted disease.

In Illinois, fault grounds do not have an impact on the outcome of the divorce when it comes to division of property or alimony. They can be important, however, when the court is considering dissipation of marital assets, child custody and visitation matters.
