Frequently Asked Questions for Aurora Divorce Cases
Where will my divorce case be filed if I live in Aurora?
Your case will be filed in the county where you or your spouse reside. For the majority of Aurora residents, this will be at the Kane County Judicial Center in St. Charles. Our firm can quickly determine the proper venue for your specific situation.
How is property divided in an Aurora divorce?
Illinois is an “equitable distribution” state. This means all marital property is divided in a manner that is fair and just, but not necessarily a 50/50 split. A judge will consider factors like the length of the marriage, each spouse’s income, and their contributions to the marital estate.
How long will my divorce take?
The timeline depends on the complexity of your case and the level of agreement between you and your spouse. An uncontested divorce can often be finalized in a few months, whereas a highly contested case involving significant assets or custody disputes can take over a year to resolve.
