Frequently Asked Questions
Does the collaborative process happen outside of court in Chicago?
Yes, the collaborative divorce process happens outside of court in Chicago. You and your spouse work together in face-to-face settlement meetings with your collaborative attorneys and any additional neutral professionals on the team. Negotiations focus on finding win-win solutions versus relying on contested court proceedings.
Are communications during collaborative divorce confidential in Chicago?
Generally, communications during collaborative divorce are confidential in Chicago. Parties usually sign a participation agreement that bars use of any statements made during the process later on in court. Exceptions exist for threats, abuse/neglect, or crimes. Confidentiality promotes open and honest negotiations to reach settlement.
Does either spouse have to reveal infidelity during a collaborative divorce in Chicago?
No, neither spouse is required to reveal infidelity during a collaborative divorce in Chicago. Illinois is a no-fault divorce state, so adultery or misconduct does not need to be alleged or proven. Settlement discussions can remain focused on equitable distribution of assets, co-parenting, and other forward-looking matters. Past wrongdoings are typically not relevant to creating agreeable divorce terms.
