Illinois And No-Fault Divorce
The state of Illinois is a “no-fault” divorce state, which means that you do not need to prove that a spouse’s behavior was the reason for a divorce. It is enough for the parties to agree that there are irreconcilable differences. This also means that if one spouse wants a divorce, there is no way for the other to stop it. Our divorce lawyers in Lake County help clients navigate the divorce laws in Illinois.
