Whether your marriage is coming to an amicable end or a bitter one, you deserve an experienced Lombard divorce attorney on your side. The issues that are settled during the divorce process will impact your life for a long time to come. The outcome of your finances and time with your children, as well as their best interests, will be determined by your settlement or by a judge’s orders. Now is not the time to gamble with your future. You need a knowledgeable attorney who is compassionate but also determined when it comes to fighting for your rights.
There are two general types of divorce: contested and uncontested. If you and your soon to be ex-spouse can agree on the significant issues such as child support, child custody, and the division of your assets, you can file an uncontested divorce. These types of divorces are usually over sooner than contested ones and put the spouses more in control of their arrangements. Sometimes spouses can agree on the essential terms without outside help, and other times they may need the help of professionals such as a mediator to reach an agreement. However, even in an uncontested divorce, it is essential that you have representation from a skilled Lombard divorce lawyer who will represent your interests.
In a contested divorce, the spouses cannot agree on one or more issues. If they are unable to reach an agreement, they will go before the family court judge, who will determine the outcomes for them based on the best interests of everyone involved. Contested divorces are typically more lengthy and can end with outcomes that neither spouse finds favorable.
Either spouse can file for divorce in Illinois as long as one of them has lived in the state for a minimum of 90 days. Your marriage does not need to take place in this state in order to file for divorce here. When filing for divorce, most couples choose to list irreconcilable differences as their grounds for divorce. To be granted a divorce on these grounds, the spouses must have lived separate and apart for a continuous minimum amount of time of six months. Your Lombard divorce attorney can help you determine if these grounds are right for you.
