Is it mandatory to go through mediation to divorce in Illinois?
In Illinois, mediation is often suggested for couples who are divorcing, particularly if they have children, in which case it becomes mandatory. Nonetheless, this requirement can be set aside if there are safety concerns stemming from issues like domestic violence. For individuals unsure about the applicability of mediation in their divorce proceedings, consulting with a divorce lawyer in Chicago can be helpful. They can offer advice tailored to the specifics of your situation, helping you to understand whether mediation is a necessary part of your divorce process.
 
What is the waiting period for a divorce in Chicago?
Illinois mandates a six-month waiting period for contested divorces. This waiting period is not required for uncontested divorces, provided the residency requirements are met.
 
What actions can I take if my spouse disagrees with the divorce?
Although a spouse's disagreement can slow the divorce process by contesting various issues, they cannot ultimately prevent the divorce. If your spouse does not participate, the court may proceed and grant the divorce based on the evidence you provide.

Our firm handles every case with ethical diligence and professionalism, with the goal of achieving satisfactory outcomes for our clients.
How does adultery impact child custody decisions in Illinois?
Adultery by a spouse does not influence child custody or parenting time decisions in Illinois. The court is focused on what is best for the child, particularly the quality of the relationship between the child and each parent, rather than the parents' personal conduct. This is due to Illinois adhering to no-fault divorce principles, where a spouse’s misconduct is not taken into account in these decisions.
Can I cancel a divorce after initiating it?
Yes, if you initiated the divorce, you can cancel it by filing a request for dismissal with the court. If both parties agree that they no longer wish to proceed with the divorce, a mutual dismissal petition may be required to officially terminate the process.
What happens if my spouse demands I leave our home after I file for divorce?
You are not required to vacate your marital home simply because your spouse demands it once you file for divorce. Both spouses have equal rights to the property unless a judge orders otherwise. This remains true even if the property deed is in the name of only one spouse.
