Straight forward, honest, and impeccable character. Would never want her to be opposing counsel. Step 1: Once you have been served with a summons for a dissolution of marriage or civil union, you have 30 days after service of the summons not counting the day of service to file your appearance and response if you choose to provide a response with the Office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court of Cook County at the location indicated in the summons.
If you do not file at least an appearance within 30 days after being served, the court can hold you in default, and the Petitioner can proceed with the case without providing you further notice. Step 2: There is a fee for filing an appearance and response. Step 3: Please note that you do not have to wait until the Petitioner sets a court date if you wish to file a motion.
You may file a motion at any point once you have filed your appearance. Filing on the ground of irreconcilable differences requires you to have been living separate and apart for at least two years or, if you both agree to the divorce, for at least six months. Of course, you may already meet these requirements, in which case they will present no delay in processing your petition. The filing process varies from county to county.
If your spouse does not respond, we will ask the court to assign a date for a court appearance you both must attend, which is typically scheduled another four weeks out. If your spouse does not appear on the hearing date mandated, the judge may issue a default ruling awarding you a divorce. In Lake County, six months and a day must pass from the date your spouse was served notice before you can be restored to single status; unresolved issues such as allocation of parental responsibilities will be decided by the court at a later date.
The no-fault approach imposes a two-year separate and apart or six-month requirement.
