In order to file for dissolution of marriage in Illinois, there are residency requirements that must be met for the court to have jurisdiction. If the court discovers it does not have jurisdictional rights to hear the case it will be transferred or it will eventually be dismissed. The requirements are as follows:
The court shall enter a judgment of dissolution of marriage as long as one of the spouses was a resident of this State or was stationed in this State while a member of the armed services, and the residence or military presence had been maintained for 90 days prior to filing. The proceedings shall be had in the county where the plaintiff or defendant resides. For further information, please contact your Tazewell County Divorce Attorney.
