Grounds for Divorce in Illinois |
|
|
|
“Grounds for divorce” are the legal reasons for a divorce. The most commonly used ground for divorce in Illinois is "irreconcilable differences", also known as "no fault."
In such a case, the spouses are required to prove: (1) a breakdown in the marriage, (2) that they have been living separately for two years, (3) that they have attempted counseling, and (4) that all efforts to reconcile have failed. A judge can limit the period of separation to six months in certain cases.
Other grounds which may be used are mental cruelty, physical cruelty, habitual drunkenness or a drug habit, adultery, impotence, and imprisonment.
To fully understand divorce law and family law, it may be necessary to read and interpret statutes with case law and regulatory law. It is important to check to see if laws are up date. For these and other reasons, it is always best to consult with a qualified family law attorney.
