What Are the Requirements to File for Divorce in Illinois?
Illinois sets a few basic requirements that must be met before a court will grant a divorce. The first is residency. At least one spouse must have lived in Illinois for 90 days. The 90-day rule can be met at the time of filing or by the time the court makes its final findings. Only one spouse has to meet it. Someone who recently moved to Wheaton from another state may be able to file once 90 days have passed.
