How Is Property Divided in an Illinois Divorce?
Illinois is an equitable distribution state, meaning family courts have the duty and authority to divide marital assets equitably. However, equitable is not always equal. The court may consider various factors to determine property division in a divorce, such as:
- The duration of the marriage
- Each spouse’s economic circumstances
- Each spouse’s income, debts, employability, and current and future earning potential
- Each spouse’s contributions to the marriage, including homemaking and childcare
- Each spouse’s age, health, and educational level
Keep in mind this is far from a comprehensive list. If you’re preparing for complex property division, partnering with a trusted divorce lawyer is paramount to protecting your financial security.
