How Soon Can I File for Divorce in Illinois?
There is no mandatory waiting period to file for divorce in Illinois. The only potential hurdle is the residency requirement, which requires at least one spouse to have resided in the state for at least 90 days prior to filing.
If you’re preparing to start the divorce process, don’t hesitate to contact Weiss-Kunz & Oliver for sound counsel. Our advocates are well-versed in divorce laws to assist with the necessary paperwork and help you file your petition correctly.
Does My Ex Get Half of Everything in a Divorce?
No, not necessarily. Illinois is an equitable distribution state, meaning courts have the duty and authority to divide marital property equitably. However, "equitably" doesn't always mean equally. While equitable distribution can result in a 50/50 split, this isn’t the case for every divorce. Partnering with a trusted attorney is paramount to protecting your hard-earned assets and negotiating a fair outcome.

Easy to communicate with and we developed a well thought out plan to get what we needed out of a legal dispute with my ex wife. Maxine was very thoughtful though out the process and did not waste my time or money unless it was necessary. I highly recommend their firm.

Types of Divorces We Handle
Common cases we handle include:
At Weiss-Kunz & Oliver, our attorneys are dedicated to pursuing favorable outcomes for couples undergoing all types of divorces.
-
Contested DivorceA contested or traditional divorce occurs when spouses cannot agree on one or more terms of their divorce, including complex issues like property division and child custody. These cases often require complex negotiations and court involvement, making high-quality representation a top priority to safeguard your future.
-
Uncontested DivorceAn uncontested divorce is only available to spouses who mutually agree on all divorce-related terms. This route can not only save couples time and money in court, but also reduce stress during the divorce process. From reviewing legal agreements to negotiating a final agreement, our firm can guide your legal steps wisely at every turn.
-
Divorce LitigationWhile many divorces are settled outside of court, divorce litigation may be necessary to achieve a fair outcome. At Weiss-Kunz & Oliver, our goal is to reach favorable resolutions for our clients as quickly as possible. However, our skilled litigators never shy away from a trial if that’s what it takes to achieve a fair outcome.
-
High-Net-Worth DivorceHigh-net-worth divorces involve substantial marital assets and unique challenges, such as complex business valuations, tax implications, and retirement accounts. Our lawyers have a reputation for handling high-asset divorces with meticulous attention to detail, giving you peace of mind that your future and financial security are protected.
-
Divorce MediationDivorce mediation is an alternative dispute resolution process that allows couples to resolve their divorce amicably. During mediation, both parties work collaboratively with a neutral mediator to address critical issues. Our firm can guide your steps wisely while pursuing mutually beneficial solutions that align with your long-term goals.
