Residency Requirement and Reasons for Divorce

Residency Requirement and Reasons for Divorce

Divorce in Illinois is referred to as "dissolution of marriage." Like the majority of states, Illinois offers two types of divorce: fault-based and no-fault. Most couples pursue a no-fault case because it allows you to leave out the reasons for the breakup. 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 you both agree to proceed with a no-fault dissolution of marriage, the period of separation must be at least six months. If only one person wishes to pursue a no-fault complaint, the time period is two years.

Divorce is always good news

"Divorce is always good news. I know that sounds weird but it's true, because  no good marriage has ever ended in divorce.  That's never happened - THAT would be sad." Louis C. K.  I'm getting ready to divorce my husband and wanted to share a little blog post that I found helpful with making this decision. All 10 of the items that she lists are all items that I was clueless about before and after I married my husband. I had no idea what a good partner looked like nor how to be a good partner myself. Even now, these are qualities that are not prevalent in our marriage, which, I think, is a pretty good indicator that it's time to walk away.  10 Things I Wish I Knew Before I Got Divorced Quote: Irrevocably Broken by Lindsay Heller There surely comes a time in every marriage when we question if the grass is greener on the other side.
