Legal Question in Criminal Law in Illinois

Re: damage

If your ex pursues the damage in court, then you should bring your witnesses to Court to testify that you were with them. If the Court believes your ex, then you could be subject to some kind of penalty, but it depends what Court here's the charges to say what the result might be.

For example, if you are in divorce court the Judge might deduct the damages from your share of dividing up the property.

If you are in civil court, the Judge could order you to pay for the damages.

If you are in criminal court, the Judge could fine you or possibly give you probation or worse. But criminal court probably will not get involved unless the police were involved and the damage is fairly severe.

Feel free to give us a call if you want to talk about the details.
