Illinois is an equitable distribution state, which means the court has broad discretion in dividing marital property rather than a strict 50/50 split.

Judges weigh factors like each spouse's contribution to the marriage, earning capacity, custodial responsibilities, and tax consequences before deciding how assets are divided.

Attorney Matthew Katz brings over 20 years of family law experience and a Master's in Social Work from the University of Chicago to help clients understand exactly what these factors mean for their case.

Divorce in Illinois moves through several stages, starting with mediation, which is required to attend but never requires you to agree to a settlement.

Temporary support hearings rely heavily on financial affidavits, while the discovery process requires full and honest disclosure of all financial information.

If the case goes to trial, both sides may take depositions before a final hearing that can last several days.

Attorney Matthew Katz brings 20+ years of family law experience and a Master's in Social Work from the University of Chicago to guide clients through every stage of this process.

When a business is part of the marital estate, Illinois courts look to IRS Revenue Ruling 59-60 to determine its fair market value, essentially what a buyer would actually pay for it.

That value includes intangible factors like goodwill and reputation, along with a hard look at future earnings, which is often the most contested part of the case.

Illinois courts treat your divorce judgment or custody order as a binding order, and violating it can mean contempt, fines, or even jail time.

Child support and parenting time are handled separately under Illinois law, so a missed payment does not give a parent the right to withhold parenting time.

Marital debts are usually divided the same way marital property is, with joint credit card debt typically split between both spouses.

But if one spouse ran up debt alone, gambled away savings or spent marital funds on an affair, Illinois courts can hold that spouse solely responsible and award a credit to the other side.

Spousal maintenance in Illinois follows a set formula based on both spouses' incomes, but the court can go off guidelines when health, custody or prior agreements call for it.

How long payments last depends on the length of the marriage, and maintenance can even end early if the recipient remarries or moves in with a new partner.
