Generally speaking, Illinois is a no-fault divorce state meaning that it is not necessary or advantageous for one party to show wrongdoing by the opposing party. However, there are some exceptions as provided by statute. For example, in order to qualify for fault, a party must show the opposing party committed adultery or bigamy, engaged in mental or physical cruelty, deserted the party for over one year, experienced impotence, or demonstrated habitual alcohol or drug abuse for two years or more. With all that being stated, over 90% of divorce cases filed in Illinois are no-fault divorces.
