FAQs

Do I Need To Be Legally Separated?

You do not need to be legally separated to be divorced. The law used to require you to be separated for two years to be divorced. Now, although it is not required, living apart for six months or longer can be used as evidence of irreconcilable differences to support your divorce.

Do You Have More Questions?

If you have questions about divorce, talk to divorce lawyer Van A. Schwab. We serve clients in Chicago and throughout the surrounding areas in Illinois. For more than 40 years, The Law Offices of Van A. Schwab has been a trusted legal resource, guiding Chicagoans through the divorce process while protecting their interests. Schedule an appointment by calling or contacting our firm online.

What Is The Difference Between Uncontested And Contested Divorce?

An uncontested divorce is one in which both parties can agree to the terms of the divorce without having a court battle. A contested divorce is one in which the parties cannot agree on one or more of the issues in the divorce, and they must go to court to resolve their differences.

How Long Does A Divorce Take?

Divorce is a challenging time and it is normal to want to get through it as quickly as possible. The length of time it takes depends on a number of factors, including whether you and your spouse can agree upon the terms of the divorce.

Do I Need An Attorney?

While legally an attorney is not required to obtain a divorce in Illinois, an attorney is recommended. An experienced lawyer will make sure you are looking at every aspect of your divorce, protecting your interests now as well as in the future. Valuations of property and calculations of child support need to be done correctly. If they are not accurately calculated, it can have a significant effect on your long-term picture.
