Thanks to a recent Supreme Court ruling, mentally disabled individuals are now allowed to file for divorce in Illinois. Prior to this ruling, neither the individual could file for divorce nor any guardian representing the individual. The court ruled that a general ban is no longer ideal, and instead, the court will review each filing on a case-by-case basis, and will consider the best interests of the mentally disabled individual.
