Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

Computer Time

My husband spends alot of time on the computer playing WOW, he is a computer game addict...it has been an issue for a few years, I have talked to him about it and he said he would spend less time on the computer...that happened for about a day. Now its to the point that it takes up his whole weekends and when he gets home from work he goes straight to the puter, is this grounds for a divorce? we have a 14 y.o. son and he spends no time with him nor me. I can't tell you how many times I have brought this to his attention and he just doesn't seem to care that it upsets me, its gotten so bad that we are now sleeping in separate rooms.

You do not need to use grounds to get divorced, you just have to live separate and apart for 6 months (if he's willing to waive the 2 year waiting period) for a no fault divorce (irreconcilable differences).

You don't need any grounds for a divorce other than you don't get along. Basically you can get a divorce anytime you want one. And from the sound of it, your husband appears to be somewhat of a loser.
