Illinois Family Law guides

Plain-English guides to the law. General information, not legal advice.

Adoption Process in Illinois
Illinois adoption involves consent rules, a court-supervised home study, and (for newborn adoptions) a state-specific revocation window. Final consent is irrevocable; preliminary consent can be revoked within 72 hours.
Maintenance in Illinois: How It Works
Illinois calls it maintenance. Statutory formula sets BOTH amount (33⅓% of payor's income minus 25% of payee's, capped) AND duration (a percentage of marriage length, increasing with marriage years).
Annulment in Illinois
An annulment in Illinois declares that a marriage was never legally valid — different from divorce, which ends a valid marriage. Grounds vary; common ones include Inability to consent (intoxicated, mental disability), inability to consummate.
Child Custody and Best Interests of the Child in Illinois
Illinois child-custody decisions are governed by the "best interests of the child" standard. Illinois replaced "custody" with "parental responsibilities" in 2016. Courts allocate decision-making and parenting time under the best-interests standard with no joint-custody presumption.
Child Emancipation in Illinois
Illinois child emancipation generally requires age 16 or older, plus showing the minor can support themselves and emancipation is in their best interest.
Child Relocation Rules in Illinois
Illinois child-relocation requires court approval (or other parent's consent) for most moves that materially affect parenting time. 60 days written notice for moves of 25+ miles in Cook County area, 50+ miles elsewhere.
Child Support Calculations in Illinois
Illinois calculates child support using the Income Shares model. Both parents' incomes are combined to estimate what they would have spent on the child as an intact family.
Cohabitation Agreements + Unmarried Couples in Illinois
Illinois unmarried couples have NO automatic rights to property, support, or inheritance — cohabitation agreements + careful estate planning are the only protection. "Common-law marriage" is rare + specific.
Collaborative Divorce in Illinois
Illinois collaborative divorce — both parties + attorneys agree NOT to litigate, instead use team approach with neutrals. If process fails, attorneys must withdraw, creating strong incentive to settle.
Common-Law Marriage in Illinois
Illinois does NOT recognize common-law marriage. Cohabitation alone — even for decades — does not create marriage rights here.
Family-Court Contempt in Illinois
Illinois family-court contempt enforces divorce decrees, child-support orders, and custody arrangements — civil contempt for compliance, criminal contempt for punishment. Jail time is real possibility for willful violators.
Divorce Grounds in Illinois
Illinois is a pure no-fault state — divorce is granted on the basis of an irretrievable breakdown. No fault grounds are available.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do courts decide custody?

By the child's best interests — each parent's involvement, stability, the child's needs and sometimes the child's wishes.

Can a custody order be changed?

Yes, usually when circumstances change significantly. A lawyer can tell you if your situation qualifies.

Do I need a family lawyer if we agree on everything?

Not always, but a lawyer can make sure the agreement is complete, fair and enforceable — especially when children, a home or retirement accounts are involved.

How much does a family lawyer in Bloomington cost?

Most charge hourly against a retainer; some offer flat fees for uncontested matters. Ask for the fee structure in writing at your first meeting.

What should I bring to my first meeting?

Any court papers, a list of assets and debts, recent pay stubs and tax returns, and notes on your children's schedule if custody is involved.
