Even when both sides are cooperative, divorce can bring a lot of stress to the spouses and to the entire family. In Illinois, the laws for no-fault divorce and “grounds” divorce can be confusing. Despite the stress and confusion, decisions need to be made that will affect both spouses, their children, and, in some cases, their businesses for years to come.

- A no-fault divorce in Illinois requires living separate and apart for two years.
- That requirement can be lowered to six months by agreement of both parties.
- When the divorce is filed on the basis of grounds (physical or mental cruelty, adultery, attempted murder, and others), there is no waiting period.
- As a non-community property state, marital assets can be divided at the discretion of the court.
- Non-marital assets can be considered in determining spousal maintenance and in the division of marital assets.
- When there is a question of marital and non-marital assets, such as when ownership of a business is involved, talk to a lawyer who understands business matters and forensic accounting.
The more you have at stake, the more you need a law firm that understands the business aspects as well as the family restructuring aspects of your divorce.
