To file or petition for divorce in Illinois, the state requires residency for at least 90 days. The filing must also take place with a circuit court in which one of the spouses currently resides.
Illinois recognizes a “no-fault” grounds for divorce, meaning that neither spouse has to prove the other did something wrong to cause the divorce. The only grounds for divorce in Illinois is “irreconcilable differences,” meaning that the marriage is considered irretrievably broken; the spouses do not get along and the marital relationship cannot be repaired.
The state of Illinois requires the spouses to live separate and apart for six months prior to filing for divorce. However, this rule can be waived under some circumstances, including mutual agreement of the parties. Spouses may live at the same residence, but have to show proof they lived somewhat independently of one another and act as roommates, rather than a couple.#nofaultdivorce, #divorce,
