Division of Property

Chicago Divorce Attorneys: Property Division

One of the most complex and hotly contested issues in divorce cases is property division. Contrary to popular belief, Illinois family laws do not require an even 50/50 split of marital property.

Illinois law states that marital property shall be divided in a manner which is "just and equitable." Although case law gives some direction to judges as to what constitutes a "just and equitable" division of assets, the final determination of property division in any case is a complex and often gray matter which is subject to the quality of arguments presented by attorneys and the subjective views of a given judge.

As a result, it is extremely important for anyone who is getting a divorce to have an experienced divorce attorney who can make a compelling argument on their behalf and protect their financial rights.
