Frequently Asked Questions About Family Law and Divorce in Schaumburg
How long must I reside in Illinois before I can file for divorce in Schaumburg?
The Illinois Marriage and Dissolution Act requires at least one spouse be a resident of the state for 90 days before filing for divorce.
Is there a waiting period before divorce will be granted in Schaumburg?
One may seek a divorce based on irreconcilable differences if there are no grounds for divorce. This is also known as a “no-fault” divorce; although a mandatory separation period is required for a no-fault divorce. In order to file for a divorce based on irreconcilable differences, you and your spouse must have lived apart for two years. If both you and your spouse have agreed to the divorce, the waiting period is shortened to six months. You do not have to maintain separate residences during the waiting period. Having separate bedrooms in the same home may qualify as living separate and apart. There is no waiting period if there are grounds for the divorce as noted above.
How much money does divorce cost in Illinois?
Costs can range greatly depending on a host of factors, including the willingness of both parties to work together towards an out-of-court solution. At Petrelli Previtera, LLC, we always encourage settlement first. We’ll also explain what you can generally expect to spend when we consult with you.
