The parties have lived apart for at least two years due to irreconcilable differences The parties have lived apart for at least six months if the two year legal separation period is waived by both spouses and approved by the court It can take anywhere from a couple of weeks to six months after separation in Illinois. It depends on the reason you want the divorce, the complications on agreement to various issues, and whether or not you have children together. Most divorces take between six months and a year to complete.

Should you file for separation before filing for divorce?
Yes you should have a separation agreement. In most states you must be separated for one year to file for divorce. If you have a separation agreement with your ex which has been notorized and dated, it will make it easier to prove you have been separated for a year. Separation agreements also help in dividing up property if you both agree on what each will get. If you want a quickie divorce it only takes 30 days in some states. Also beware some lawyers will tell you that if you both agree to say that you have been separated for a year and backdate the paperwork,then you can get a divorce immediately. This is a common occurance but be warned if you are not on good terms with your ex, it could come back to bite you! * There are 12 states which require a couple to separate for a specified length of time before filing for divorce. The issue of filing for a dissolution of marriage and the time the divorce is final is often confused with the act of a required separation before a divorce can be filed. In states that require the couple to reside separately before the filing it generally pertains to the interlocutory in relation to a "no-fault" divorce.
