Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How long will my divorce take?
A: The entire divorce process can take as little as two weeks if you have a full agreement, and can also last up to several years, depending upon how complicated the issues are or the level of conflict between you and your spouse. If you have unresolved issues in which reaching an agreement is very difficult, it takes more time. The timeline for your divorce will depend upon several factors, and the more disagreements there are, the longer and more expensive your case becomes.
Q: Do I need to plan for my divorce?
A: Divorce will change many facets of your life and whether you or your spouse filed the petition, there are many things that you can do to facilitate an amicable separation. Knowing what to expect will help you to make the right decisions and allow you to move forward. A plan cannot hurt and the more information you have about the process, the better off you will be.

Q: How will I support myself and our children?
A: After the Petition for Dissolution of Marriage is filed, the court will make temporary orders to address immediate issues like financial support for you and your children. A Motion for Temporary Relief should be filed to addresses the immediate need for spousal support and child support, which will also lay out the framework for parenting time or visitation.
These orders are temporary and will most likely change at the time of the final court hearing when your divorce becomes final. It’s important to speak with an experienced divorce attorney to ensure that your temporary orders are filed timely and ensure you receive the proper amount for your support.
Q: If my spouse had an affair will that affect child custody or parenting time?
A: In Illinois, there is no causal connection between a spouse’s infidelity in marriage and the amount of parenting time or custody of the children. When it comes to custody and parenting time, the court is concerned about the quality of the parental relationship with the child. Illinois is a no-fault divorce state, so even if your spouse is unfaithful, it is no longer a consideration in Illinois courts.
Q: How do I choose the right Chicago divorce attorney?
A: Before choosing a divorce attorney to represent you, be sure to do your research. Seek recommendations from co-workers and friends, as well as checking out Chicago divorce attorneys online. While there are a lot of factors to consider but be sure to select a lawyer that focuses solely on divorce and family law cases. You do not want to right the outcome of your case with a general practice lawyer.
Q: Do you have female attorneys and represent men and women?
A:At Anderson Boback & Marshall, we proudly represent both women and men in divorce cases. Our team of experienced attorneys includes both female divorce attorneys and male divorce lawyers who specialize in handling the unique challenges and concerns faced by each gender during the divorce process.
