Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

want divorce from lost spouse

Re: want divorce from lost spouse

It takes more than putting an ad in the paper. You have to file a complaint. Then place it for publication with the Chicago Law Bulletin,and after a certain time, move for default. Then you put on a default hearing and present the judge with a judgment for dissolution of marriage. Do yourself a favor and hire a lawyer.
