Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois
property purchase during divorce
I am a married resident of Illinois going through a divorce. I'd like to purchase some vacant land using my own funds in another state but I'm not sure if I can legally do this in Illinois without having the land become joint property.

Re: property purchase during divorce
The question will be whether you are using marital funds to purchase the property or whether you are using your own funds. Also, the law of the state where you are purchasing the property may control its status.
Be very careful prior to purchasing the property. Maybe a waiver from your soon to be ex spouse
