Going through a divorce can be a stressful and emotional time. In addition to the lasting impact on your family life, there can be many practical decisions about finances, property, and other assets that have to be made. However, if you have very few assets and meet other qualifying factors, you may be eligible for a Joint Simplified Dissolution of Marriage under Illinois Law. This is a quicker and less costly process, but it comes with strict requirements and neither party may seek any spousal maintenance during the process or after the divorce is finalized. An experienced divorce attorney can help determine if this approach fits your situation.
The strict qualifications for following this process are spelled out in Illinois law:
Given the narrow requirements that must be met and the restrictions on the outcome of the process, few divorcing couples are eligible or choose to pursue this route. However, it can be helpful for those who do qualify and provide a quick solution to ending their marriage.
If you are considering a divorce, contact the DuPage County Family Law Attorneys of Mevorah & Giglio Law Offices. We can help you determine if you qualify for a Joint Simplified Dissolution of Marriage, if an alternative resolution process will work in your case, or if you should pursue a more traditional divorce process.
