You can get divorced in Illinois, or any other state, without your spouse signing any papers. You will have to post in a newspaper (any newspaper as long as its posted) that the divorce has been filed, that gives your spouse a chance to respond. If your spouse don't respond usually withing 30 days then the divorce is legal. Anyone living in Illinois filing for a divorce also has to meet the 90 day residency requirement. You have to be a resident of Illinois for 90 days before filing your petion for Dissolution of Marriage in Illinois. Illinois divorce laws and court system is very bias towards men. In Illinois get a good lawyer, perferably one referred to you through the Bar Association. That referal will cost maybe $20.00, but will save you allot of money in the end. At all the court sessions request that a court reporter always be present so every statements being made are legally documented and part of the divorce file. In Illinois that makes a huge difference.

If the judge has signed them, the parties' signatures are not required. If one party has prepared the decree following the judge's oral pronouncement, and if the other party fails to sign the proposed draft of the decree of divorce so that it can be submitted to the court, then the drafting party should file a "Motion to Enter" with a copy of the proposed decree attached to the motion and seek a hearing on the motion, and at such hearing the Court will enter a decree with or without signatures.

Yes, a simple mistake in wording does not change the validity of the legal document. You and your husband will be divorced, but 3d parties such as social security, insurance beneficiary contracts, retirement, and the like will not recognize Sr's authorization on legal documents stating Jr's name. A motion nunc pro tunc ("now for then") is to be filed by Sr to correct the decree. It opens up no legal issues, and it is merely ministerial and used for mistakes such as this one.

It varies from person to person and depends if there are children, properties or a substantial amount of money involved. In British Columbia, Canada, once you have been separated from your spouse for 7 years you can request a divorce document (as long as you have not had anything to do with your ex.) You can also have your lawyer push for the divorce. If you have a lawyer it sounds as if he/she is not doing their job well. If you don't have a lawyer I suggest you get one. I tried getting a divorce the easy way from my ex, but he was doing the same thing your husband is doing (just being nasty) and I had to get a lawyer and even at that it took me 2 years to get that divorce.

IF AT LEAST ONE OF THE PARENT'S HAS LIVED IN CALIFORNIA FOR AT LEAST 6 MONTHS, CALIFORNIA HAS JURISDICTION AND UNDER CALIFORNIA LAW, AS I UNDERSTAND IT, NO SIGNATURE IS REQUIRED BY THE OPPOSING PARTY TO EFFECTUATE A DIVORCE DECREE. MEDIATION WILL LIKELY BE ORDERED TO WORK OUT A PARENTING PLAN AND "DISSOMASTER" WILL BE UTILIZED TO COMPUTE SUPPORT AMOUNTS.

Not in a million years! The only place you can get copies of your divorce papers, is at the court where you got divorced. There are companies like Divorce RPD who obtain documents for you.

You will need your case number; without the case number the court will not be able to help you. You can get your case number from the Dept. of Home Affairs, IF it was captured on their system. If it is not listed with the Dept, you will have to go to the court archives and look up your case number.

Once you have your case number, you can request copies of your divorce documents from court. This will take anything between a few days to a few months, influenced by the date of the divorce, the court, the archiving company, current staff working there and lots of luck (or not?). You can get copies of your divorce decree, your divorce settlement if available and you could also get certified copies of your divorce papers and even an "Apostille" with your divorce records.

Be ready and prepared to make many phone calls, hold-on for hours and then stand in queues for hours, and maybe come up with nothing. Easiest is to let the pro's , like Divorce RPD, handle it for you.

An alien with no greencard or "papers" could get deported any time. Getting married or getting a divorce are things which, in and of themselves, have no baring on the aliens immigration status.

If the spouse had filed a petition on the alien's behalf, the petition would no longer be valid. An immature or vindictive ex-spouse could try to make immigration trouble for the alien, but it's unlikely that they would be able to actually get the person deported.

Check with the Clerk of Court in the Parish where your boyfriend got married. Divorce records are public records and as long as you know his full name and at least part of her name, you would be able to find out. I have done this and cannot access records

When you initiate any lawsuit, the first thing you do is file a Complaint or Petition. This is a document outlining what you want and why you are legally entitled to it. (In a divorce, you sue the other person for dissolution of marriage.) This document is filed with the clerk of court, and is called a case. This process is commonly referred to as filing for divorce.

Once your Complaint is filed, you must then give the defendant formal legal notice of the pending lawsuit. This is done by "service of process," meaning you serve them. Different states have different rules for how a Complaint may be serve, but it typically involves having the sheriff or another authorized person physically place the documents in the Defendant's hands.

Once a person has been served, they have a certain period of time (20-30 days, depending on jurisdiction) to file an Answer, or a formal document responding to the Complaint. The Answer must be filed with the court, and also sent to the Plaintiff or Plaintiff's attorney by mail or hand delivery. If your serving for divorce you have the court documents (papers) showing you have filed for the divorce with the courts. Filing for a divorce is the first step in the divorce process. The spouse then has to be served for the divorce proceedings to begin.

When divorce papers are served they are officially given to the spouse and the court is made aware that the spouse is officially aware of the divorce.

Generally, in regards to a voluntary move, the parties need to come to some sort of an agreement about visitations. There are so many factors that must be considered: the age of the children, the distance that must be travelled, whether the parent who is moving can travel back for visits, etc. The party that moves should not expect the parent with physical custody to incur expenses relating to the visitations. If the parties cannot agree on a plan they will need legal advice.

No, generally both parties will need to request the dissolution of marriage petition be withdrawn or dismissed, and then need to file a petition of separation. Not every state will grant a legal separation decree, nor dismiss a divorce petition depending upon the circumstances.
