Frequently Asked Questions

Who gets to stay in the family home after a divorce in Chicago?

In a Chicago divorce, 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 may order the house sold and proceeds divided if neither spouse can afford it alone.

What is the process for appraising assets and determining values for property division?

The process for appraising assets and determining values for property division in a Chicago divorce involves each spouse exchanging financial documentation like tax returns, bank statements, property records, and retirement account details. Significant assets like real estate or businesses get professional valuations. Values are established as of the date of dissolution. The lawyers often negotiate asset values, with the court making final determinations if disputes remain.

How are bank accounts divided during a divorce in Chicago, Illinois?

Bank accounts in a divorce are generally divided by tracing contributions made during the marriage to determine equitable distribution, rather than simply splitting current balances. All marital deposits into accounts remain marital property. Any non-marital funds deposited can be set aside. The court divides the marital portion equitably, often 50/50. Your lawyer can help trace non-marital contributions to be awarded separately.
