Frequently Asked Questions
Who gets to stay in the family home after we divorce in Arlington Heights?
Who stays in the family home depends on several factors. The court looks at who has physical custody of minor children, incomes and ability to afford the mortgage, tax implications, and parties' agreement. Often the custodial parent can stay until children reach 18. The court can order the house sold and proceeds divided if neither spouse can afford it alone.
How are retirement accounts handled in property division?
Retirement accounts like 401(k)s and pensions are commonly divided in Arlington Heights divorce by a transfer of assets or payment of a percentage to the non-owning spouse. The court determines equitable division based on contributions made during the marriage. A QDRO divides qualified plans like 401(k)s. Pensions may be divided by QILDROs or through present value offsets. An attorney can help value plans and divide retirement assets.
Does adultery or martial misconduct affect property division?
In Arlington Heights, adultery or marital misconduct no longer impacts property division upon divorce. Illinois used to consider fault when distributing assets, but under current law, assets and debts are divided equitably regardless of bad behavior during the marriage. Misconduct may be considered for other divorce issues like custody, but property division is determined independently.
