    Will County divorce court

    Getting divorced in Will County can be easy, and affordable. Once I gather information from my client, documents are prepared, reviewed, then each spouse gets all the documents he or she has to sign. The best part is, my client only has to go to court once – at the end, when the divorce is finalized at what is called a “prove up.”

    The court is located at 14 W Jefferson St., Joliet, Illinois 60432.

    Cost of divorce in Will County

    There are several types of costs involved in an uncontested case.

    • Lawyer’s fee: I offer flat fees for uncontested divorces. 
    • Court filing fee: There is a fee to file the case, and a fee for the other party to respond. The fee to file the case is $276, and the fee to respond is $161, that’s a total of $437.Click here to see the Will County Circuit Court schedule of fees. It does not matter who pays the fee, one spouse can pay the whole thing, it can be split equally, or each can pay his or her own fee (an unequal split).
    • Transcript fee: Most courts require a transcript fee. Last time I handled a divorce in Will County, they did not require the parties to buy a trascript.

  • When it’s time to get divorced

    As a Chicago divorce lawyer, I often run into people who are wondering how to tell their husbands and wives they want a divorce in Illinois. If you are considering divorce, consider some of points below when thinking about your situation. If you are ready to get started with a divorce, you can contact me here.

    You can’t do anything right

    If you feel you are never right in your marriage, it doesn’t really matter if you are right or wrong. The situation is unsustainable.

    Sex is virtually totally unappealing

    Some people think divorce is wrong, because of religious reasons. Others stay together for the kids. But if sex is totally unappealing to you, you might get sick of living as roommates. If that’s the case, divorce might be an option to explore.

    Love has been replaced by resentment

    Feelings of resentment come from being hurt by your spouse.  There is nothing wrong with feeling hurt by the actions of another. A marriage dies when spouses harbor hurt feelings and do nothing about them – that’s when resentment builds. From resentment grows bitterness and hostility, feelings hard to work through and more than likely mean the end of a marriage.

    Moving on

    As a family law attorney in Illinois, I can help you strategize regarding telling your spouse that you want a divorce.  Or if you and your spouse have already agreed you need a divorce, I can help guide you through the process of an uncontested divorce in Illinois.
