ILLINOIS

The spouse filing for dissolution of marriage must have been a resident of Illinois for 90 days immediately prior to filing for dissolution of marriage. The dissolution of marriage may be filed in a county where either spouse resides. [Illinois Annotated Statutes; Chapter 40, Paragraphs 104 and 401].

 

The following is the only no-fault ground of divorce in Illinois: Irreconcilable differences has caused the irretrievable breakdown of the marriage and reconciliation has failed or further attempts at reconciliation are impractical and the spouses have been living separate and apart without cohabitation for 2 years. (If both spouses consent, the time period becomes 6 months). [Illinois Annotated Statutes; Chapter 40, Paragraph 401].
