How It Works

The paperwork preparation services we offer are suitable for spouses that fully agree on each aspect of their marriage dissolution. In this case, they may not even need to hire an attorney and can deal with the process independently, which saves a lot of money.

If you find it challenging to search for and complete the divorce forms on your own, we will gladly help you with that. Working with us, you will get a set of case-specific forms filled out with your personal information and chosen to suit your divorce case. Use our detailed instructions on the filing process and file without a lawyer in person or e-file through a court-approved service.

To file for a divorce in Illinois online, you need to follow three simple steps:


Requirements for an Uncontested Divorce in Illinois

Filing Requirements

A petitioner must file the paperwork in person with the circuit court in the county where either spouse lives or online and pay a filing fee. Serve the respondent, submit the remaining paperwork, and attend the hearing to get your divorce finalized.

Residency Requirements

To be eligible to start a divorce action in Illinois, either spouse must have lived in the state for at least 90 days prior to filing the Petition.

Waiting Period

Unlike in many other states, there is no mandatory waiting period in Illinois. However, the final judgment of divorce may be entered anytime within 60 days of the closing of proofs.

Complete Your Divorce Papers Online

Our service can prepare a ready-to-file package of Illinois divorce papers that suit your particular uncontested case. To get it, complete a comprehensive online questionnaire and provide detailed information about your marriage and divorce agreements.

We would ask you to specify the personal details of both parties to the divorce case, including full names, birthdates, current addresses, etc., and the date and location of your marriage. If you have minor children, make sure to indicate their personal details as per the state requirements. Share information about both parties’ workplaces and property as well as financial information about your income, debts, liabilities, insurance plans, taxes, etc. Additional details may be required depending on your individual case.

You can get your filled-out divorce forms online or receive them by mail for a small extra fee. Some of the papers that will be included are:

  • Petition for Dissolution of Marriage
  • Summons
  • Financial Affidavit
  • Notice of Hearing
  • Judgment for Dissolution of Marriage

As a divorcing parent, consider the following:

  • As in many other states, divorcees in Illinois may be granted joint or sole legal and physical custody. Children live with parents who have physical custody, and important life decisions are made for them by parents with legal custody.
  • If one spouse is granted sole physical custody, the other party often pays child support. The approximate amount can be estimated in the Child Support Calculator.
  • Courts always encourage parents to cooperate and agree on all child-related issues before the hearing.
  • The final decisions are made based on the child’s best interests and many other factors. Children over 14 can also voice their preferences regarding living arrangements.

Not necessarily, specifically in full-agreement cases. If you need legal advice before filing pro se or your case is contested, it is best to get online divorce help from an attorney.
