The Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act that went into effect on January 1, 2022 contains a number of added provisions that, depending on your circumstances, might impact your divorce a great deal.
The new rule that went into effect that has the most broad impact concerns having the opposing party pay for a divorce attorney. Through motion to the court, one spouse can ask the court to have the other party cover the cost of an attorney. Illinois is a state that seeks to distribute resources equitably — meaning as fairly as possible rather than equally — it makes sense that the court would want to ensure both sides have representation when the only thing preventing it is ready money. At Marder and Seidler we have divorce lawyers who understand how to accomplish it. #divorcelawyers,
