28 divorce attorneys are listed in Wheaton, where DuPage County's cases are heard at the Eighteenth Judicial Circuit courthouse.
Illinois divides marital property equitably rather than equally, and has been a no-fault-only state for years, so grounds are not litigated. Maintenance is calculated by statutory guidelines in most cases, which makes the real questions the length of the marriage, the characterisation of property and the treatment of business or retirement assets.
Because so much of the county's matrimonial bar practises in one courthouse, ask about experience before the specific judges and about the county's mediation requirements for parenting disputes.
