In Illinois, divorce is called a Dissolution of Marriage and is governed by the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act. It is a complicated law that was developed to give equity to both husband and wife based on a number of factors including; the length of the marriage, the number of children within the family, the assets and debts of the marriage, as well as the income and earning power of each spouse.

A Dissolution has many facets associated with it and requires a number of intensive documents prior to a judge granting you a divorce from your husband or wife. It is essential that you know your rights and your obligations. The agreements you enter into today, could have long lasting effects into the future for you and your family.
