Dividing Marital Property in Illinois

Under Illinois law, a couple’s assets and liabilities are divided in an “equitable” manner. This does not mean that there will always be a 50/50 division of the marital property. Indeed, it can mean very much the opposite. State courts will split up marital property in a manner that is deemed “fair and just” to both parties.

There are a few important things that divorcing couples in Mount Prospect, IL need to know about the equitable distribution standard. First, only marital property is subject to division. Separate or individual property will not be divided. Of course, this means that identifying what is and what is not marital property is a key part of any divorce case. Additionally, to be fairly divided, property must be accurately valued. For some types of complex property, making a fair and honest valuation can be very challenging.
