Frequently Asked Questions
“What is a 'Prove-Up' hearing in Illinois?”
A "Prove-Up" is the final, brief hearing where you present your agreement to the judge. It usually takes less than 15 minutes. The judge asks a few questions to confirm your marriage is over and the agreement is fair, then signs the Judgment of Dissolution.
“What is the Joint Simplified Dissolution?”
This is a special, faster process for couples who meet strict criteria: no children, married less than 8 years, and very limited assets/income. Our kit explains if you qualify for this option or the standard uncontested dissolution.
“Do I need a Financial Affidavit?”
Yes. Illinois courts require a Financial Affidavit to ensure both parties disclose their income, assets, and debts. This protects you from hidden assets and ensures the agreement is fair.
“Can I e-file my divorce in Illinois?”
Yes. In fact, e-filing is mandatory for civil cases in most Illinois counties. Our kit provides the PDF forms you need to upload to the state's e-filing system.
