Residency and Filing Requirements: In order to file for a dissolution of marriage in Illinois, residency requirements must be met for the court will have jurisdiction. If the court discovers it does not have jurisdictional rights to accept the case it will not be accepted 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. (750 Illinois Compiled Statutes - Chapter 5 - Sections: 104 and 401).
