Frequently Asked Questions
What are the residency requirements for divorce in Illinois?
You or your spouse must have lived in Illinois for at least 90 days before filing. The case is filed in the county where either spouse resides. Evanston is in Cook County, so cases are typically filed in the Cook County Circuit Court.
How is property divided in an Illinois divorce?
Illinois uses equitable distribution, meaning property is divided fairly but not necessarily equally. The court considers factors like each spouse's income, contributions to the marriage, and the length of the marriage. Marital property includes assets acquired during the marriage, while separate property is usually kept by the original owner.
