Online divorce in Chicago
For Chicago couples, the online part of an online divorce is the preparation: gathering your financial picture, completing the forms accurately, and assembling the packet. Filing still happens through the circuit court in your area, and your court's clerk sets the rules for e-filing, fees, and hearings.
No-fault divorce in Illinois
No-fault means nobody's on trial. A Chicago filer states the marriage is irretrievably broken and moves on. Every state provides some form of no-fault divorce, though the exact language and any required separation or waiting period differ from state to state — check Illinois's rules before you file.
