FAQ
The fastest way to obtain a divorce in Illinois is through a joint simplified divorce, provided that you meet the specific eligibility requirements. If you don't qualify for a joint simplified divorce, the next fastest option is an uncontested divorce.
A divorce (known as dissolution under Illinois law) is the means by which the marriage between a couple is ended. The judgment for divorce contains the parties' agreement concerning parental responsibilities for the children and parenting time schedules, support and property/debt division.
Divorces can take anywhere from a few months to a year or more, but this depends on various factors, including whether you're filing a no-fault or fault-based divorce, and if your divorce is contested or uncontested.
Dissolution may be the better option if: You both are in agreement that the marriage simply isn't working. You both feel that no one, in particular, is at fault. Dissolutions are often called no-fault divorces.
Overall, finalizing a divorce in Illinois can take anywhere between two months and a few years.
In Illinois, a divorce officially becomes finalized when a Judgment of Dissolution of Marriage has been entered. A Judgment of Dissolution of Marriage is the last document involved in divorce proceedings that outlines all of the agreements previously made.
The typical Illinois divorce takes 2 weeks to 2 years, depending on whether it's uncontested or contested. Uncontested divorces can be relatively quick, where spouses agree on all issues. They may be completed in as little as 2-4 weeks after filing the initial paperwork.
A joint petition for divorce allows both spouses to file for divorce together. Depending on the state you live in, if two people want to get a divorce and it is uncontested or no-fault, they have the option to file a joint petition for dissolution of marriage.
California also allows for a method of ending a marriage known as a “summary dissolution of marriage”, which is essentially a simplified divorce process. Not everyone qualifies for summary dissolution of marriage, so it's important to determine whether you and your spouse meet the requirements.
IANAL; Divorce refers to enlisting the court's help to end your marriage. A dissolution of marriage, on the other hand, is an agreement between you and your spouse on how to resolve questions such as child custody and property division, without a judge intervening.
