Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois
Is our Separation Legal
My husband and I drew up a separation agreement between us. We signed it and the package notorized. Will this hold weight with the court if either of us breaks one of the agreements?

Re: Is our Separation Legal
Hello. It is great that you put together an agreement, but for it to
be binding one of you needs to file
a Petition For Legal Separation. It
is in your best interest to get this
in Court to protect your interest and
your credit in case your spouse does
not follow through with the agreement.
I will be happy to discuss this with
you further. I never suggests that
people represent themselves. You should have an attorney.
