Someone asked me “How many times will I have to go to court to get divorce?”
“Just once,” I said.
People are interested in getting an uncontested divorce in Illinois because they know that otherwise, divorce can be destructive, and expensive.
Uncontested Divorce Process
With the process I use for an uncontested divorce, my clients only have to go to court once – at the “prove up,” where the divorce in finalized.
In fact, because I recognize people are busy, I use an efficient system that doesn’t require any meetings prior to the prove up. You probably have better things to do than hang out with a divorce lawyer (and if you don’t, please get therapy).
For an overview of the process I use, please see my article “Process for an Uncontested Divorce in Illinois.”
Efficiency in the Illinois divorce process
One reason I focus on efficiency is that my clients have better things to do than to meet for no reason, chit chat on the phone, and spend time mailing documents back and forth.
I utilize cutting-edge technology, like cloud-based storage to exchange documents with my clients. I also allow clients to sign some documents online. And unlike some Chicago divorce lawyers, I’m more than happy to communicate via email, after business hours, and on weekends.
