Rather than placing blame or listing out potentially embarrassing details, many couples prefer to simply state that the marriage is "irretrievably broken." To file a no-fault dissolution of marriage, you or your spouse must have lived in Illinois for at least 90 days and separate from each other for a specific length of time.

If only one person wishes to pursue a no-fault complaint, the time period is two years. MLG LAW GROUP 79 W Monroe Suite 925 Chicago, IL. 60603 312-374-4559 www.mlglawgroupillinois.com
