What Are the Requirements for an Uncontested Divorce in Illinois?
Under 750 ILCS 5/401, at least one spouse must have lived in Illinois for at least 90 days before filing for divorce in the state. This ensures Illinois courts have jurisdiction over your case.
You must have a written settlement agreement covering all issues. Illinois courts will not grant an uncontested divorce based on verbal agreements or vague understandings; everything must be in writing and signed by both spouses.
