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.
