Divorce can be overwhelming, but with WARD FAMILY LAW, LLC, by your side, you’re not alone. As one of the most reputable divorce law firms in Chicago, we dedicate ourselves to guiding our clients through the steps of the legal process with compassion.
The Illinois Divorce Process
The divorce process in Illinois can be lengthy and complex, which is why it’s crucial to have a knowledgeable and experienced attorney on your side. Here are the main steps involved in getting a divorce in Illinois:
- Filing for Divorce – To begin the process, one spouse files a petition for dissolution of marriage with the circuit court in their county of residence.
- Serving The Other Party – After the petition has been filed, the other party must be served with a copy of the petition and summons by either a sheriff or private process server. We can also discuss “friendly” options, if the relationship between the parties allows for alternate forms for acceptance of service of the documents.
- Negotiating Settlements – Once both parties have been served, negotiations can begin to reach an agreement on issues like the allocation of parental responsibilities, spousal support, and asset and debt division.
- Mediation – If negotiations are unsuccessful, the parties may opt for mediation in which a neutral third party facilitates discussions and reaches a resolution.
- Trial – If all attempts at reaching an agreement are unsuccessful, the case will go to trial, and a judge will make final decisions on disputed issues.
