Book
Navigating Divorce in Illinois
A self-help guide for representing yourself
What actually happens when an Illinois divorce begins — the filings, the hearings, the decisions you will be asked to make, and the parts nobody warns you about.
Who it is for
People who are going to handle some or all of their own divorce, and people who have hired a lawyer and want to understand what is happening to them. Illinois divorce has a shape. Knowing that shape in advance is most of the difference between feeling managed and feeling lost.
It is a guide, not advice. It cannot tell you what to do in your case, and it does not try.

A book is not a lawyer. This guide explains Illinois procedure in general terms. It cannot account for the facts of your case, your county's local rules, or what your judge will do. If your matter involves safety, children, or significant assets, talk to someone.
If you are in immediate danger, call 911. The Illinois Domestic Violence Helpline is 1‑877‑863‑6338, 24 hours, or 1‑877‑863‑6339 TTY.
