An application for waiver of court fees, costs, and charges in a civil action pursuant to 735 ILCS 5/5-105 shall be in writing and signed under penalty of perjury by the applicant or, if the applicant is a minor or an incompetent adult, by another person having knowledge of the facts.
The Court will strike all motions for default judgment that fail to provide sufficient notice. The moving party shall also append as exhibits to the motion for default judgment: (1) a copy of the Clerk's entry of default; (2) supporting affidavits or declarations; and (3) a proposed form of default judgment.
Like it or not, filling out your Financial Affidavit is an integral part of the divorce process in Illinois. Each party to the proceedings must share their financials with the other – completely and with full transparency – so that they can split up the marital estate and move forward.
If a default divorce is granted, the petitioner usually gets the terms they ask for. The petitioner is the sole decider on issues such as property division, child-related issues, and other divorce issues. The respondent has 30 days after the default judgment is entered to contest the decision.
While default divorces can be beneficial, they also have potential drawbacks: Lack of Input: The respondent has no opportunity to present their side or contest the terms. Unfair Terms: If the petitioner requests terms that heavily favor them, the respondent could be at a significant disadvantage.
Illinois divorce law allows for modifications based on a showing of “a substantial change in circumstances.” Substantial changes in circumstances involve significant alterations in financial, health, or living situations that impact the parties or their children.
Final order. Six weeks and a day after the court makes the conditional order, you can apply to the court for a final order (either as a sole applicant or as joint applicants with your spouse). This legally ends your marriage.
Otherwise, you'll usually need to attend a default hearing, where a judge will review your proposed divorce judgment and may ask some questions or request that you submit more information before making an official ruling.
For most counties, these are the necessary documents: Petition for Dissolution of Marriage/Civil Union. Financial Affidavit. Proof of Service/Delivery. Response to Petition. Summons. Certification Agreement. Judgment of Dissolution.
If your spouse chooses, they may file an Answer to the Petition, in which they answer to every numbered paragraph of the Petition by denying or admitting the allegations. This must also be e-Filed and given to the opposing party.
