Am I Eligible to File for an Uncontested Divorce?
Filing for an uncontested divorce can be an appealing option for many couples. Also known as a “joint simplified dissolution,” this path to divorce is typically faster, more affordable, and less stressful for families. However, petitioners must satisfy strict requirements to pursue a simplified dissolution (750 ILCS §5/452). Some key criteria include:
- Mutual agreement – Both spouses agree to the divorce and all related terms.
- Residency requirements – At least one spouse has lived in Illinois for at least 90 days (750 III. Comp. Stat. §5/401(a)).
- Marriage duration – The length of the marriage does not exceed eight years.
- No minor children – The dissolution does not involve minor children or custody disputes.
- Property value – The total value of marital assets is less than $50,000.
- Income – Neither spouse earns more than $30,000 per year and has a combined annual gross income of less than $60,000.
- Financial disclosure – Both spouses agree to disclose their assets, liabilities, tax returns, and other financial information.
- No spousal maintenance – The couple agrees to permanently waive their right to receive spousal maintenance.
- Written agreement – Both spouses signed a written agreement that divides all property totaling more than $100 in value.
If you’re unsure if you qualify for an uncontested divorce, don’t hesitate to contact our divorce lawyers for a case evaluation. When you partner with us, you can expect clear communication and personalized counsel tailored to your unique legal needs.

How We Help
Our firm has a proven track record of results in a wide range of divorce cases, including:
-
Contested DivorceA contested divorce is a common and traditional path to marriage dissolution. Spouses who cannot reach an agreement about property division, custody, alimony, and other divorce-related terms must file for a contested divorce. If negotiations fail, the case may proceed to trial, where the court will intervene and make decisions on the couple’s behalf.
-
Uncontested DivorceTo file for an uncontested divorce, couples must agree on all terms of the marriage dissolution, including complex matters like custody arrangements, property division, and child support. Some benefits of choosing an uncontested divorce include avoiding costly litigation and reducing emotional stress on families, especially those with young children.
-
High-Net-Worth DivorceAny divorce can be stressful, but the stakes can feel much higher in a high-net-worth divorce. If you’re preparing for a divorce with $1 million or more in marital property, securing experienced representation is critical to safeguard your hard-earned assets. Our high-net-worth divorce lawyers are well-versed in these cases to pursue a fair outcome.
-
Divorce LitigationWhile many divorces are settled outside of court, divorce litigation may be necessary to protect what’s rightfully yours. Whether you’re ending your marriage to a narcissistic spouse or have concerns about hidden assets, our litigators can help you protect your future by advocating for your best interests in and out of the courtroom.
-
Divorce MediationMediation is a more amicable alternative to divorce.
