PROPERTY DISTRIBUTION

Since Illinois is an "equitable distribution" state, the marital property shall be divided in an equitable fashion. Equitable does not mean equal, but rather what is fair. The court will encourage the parties to reach a settlement on property and debt issues, otherwise, the court will declare the property award. 

If the parties cannot otherwise agree, the court will equitably divide the marital property. Marital property is defined as all property acquired by either spouse subsequent to the marriage. More information is available at http://www.divorcesource.com.
