Find A Lawyer Illinois
Q.How can I get a divorce without seeking a lawyer In Illinois.? There are no kids involved, no property involve, only a few personal items at ex's house. what is the quickest easiest and least expensive route I can go? ANy advice for me???
A.I had the SAME situation. Was married for 2 years, no kids and didn't share property. Every state is different. I am in Maryland and I called my local courthouse and they were very helpful. They had an attorney that would answer questions for free, and I am thinking most states do. First you need to call the courthouse and get the papers to file for what is called an "Absolute Divorce." Really, that was the name of it in Maryland. I am not sure if the waiting period in Illinois but here in MD I had to wait a year after the separation date to officially file. So, make sure that you both agree on what the separation date is. The waiting period can be shorter if you/he can prove infidelity. I think it is 6 months or something like that. Get all the items left out of ex's house. There are a whole bunch of other details that I can give you, and what to expect at the divorce hearing without a lawyer (I just had my final hearing March 13...yay!) The final cost was under $200 for the ENTIRE thing, and he is LEGALLY required to split that with you. If he refuses to do that it will demand him to in the divorce papers even though you don't have a lawyer. Research Illinois divorce laws on the net. don't let anyone get you down by telling you you "needed to make it work." I got sick of that. If it doesn't work, it doesn't work.
