What to Expect During the Divorce Process
We provide full legal support throughout every stage of your divorce:
- Initial Consultation & Case Strategy: We listen carefully, identify your goals, and outline a clear legal path.
- Filing & Discovery: We file all necessary petitions, ensure proper service, and gather financial documents, records, and other evidence.
- Negotiation & Mediation: We aim to resolve disputes amicably to avoid unnecessary litigation—but we never compromise your rights.

Property Division & Spousal Maintenance (Alimony)
Illinois follows the rule of equitable distribution, meaning assets and debts are divided fairly, though not always equally. We protect your rights in all matters related to:
- Division of marital and non-marital property
- Division of retirement accounts and pension plans
- Protection of business ownership or professional practices
- Spousal maintenance based on statutory factors (income, duration of marriage, health, etc.)
If your spouse is hiding assets or mismanaging joint finances, we conduct a full investigation to uncover the truth. We work to ensure that all marital property is properly identified, valued, and divided in a way that protects your financial future. In addition to property division, we help clients pursue or contest spousal maintenance (alimony) based on factors like income, length of the marriage, and each spouse’s needs. Whether you’re seeking support or concerned about paying it, our firm builds a strong case to achieve a fair outcome. Our goal is to secure a settlement that supports your long-term stability and reflects your contributions to marriage.
Child Custody & Parenting Time
When children are involved, their well-being becomes the top priority. Our divorce and child custody attorney helps parents establish fair, practical parenting plans that reflect the child’s best interests.
We represent clients in:
- Allocation of parental responsibilities (decision-making authority)
- Parenting time schedules (formerly visitation)
- Relocation requests and long-distance custody
- Emergency custody issues
- Child support under Illinois’ income-sharing model
We also assist with post-judgment custody and support modifications due to changes in employment, health, or family dynamics.
Domestic Violence & Orders of Protection
In high-conflict divorces, safety must come first. We represent victims of domestic abuse seeking orders of protection, as well as individuals falsely accused of domestic violence.
Protective orders can significantly impact custody, visitation, and even criminal records. We handle these sensitive matters with urgency and care. At The Law Office of Dillon Borri, LLC., we act quickly to help clients obtain or defend against emergency and long-term protective orders. We gather evidence, represent you in court, and ensure that your voice is heard during these critical proceedings. Whether you’re trying to keep your family safe or protect your rights against false allegations, we approach each case with discretion and compassion. Your safety, reputation, and parental rights matter—and we’re here to fight for them every step of the way.

Divorce FAQs
How long does a divorce take in Illinois?
An uncontested divorce may be finalized within 60–90 days. Contested cases can take several months or more depending on complexity.
Is Illinois a “no-fault” divorce state?
Yes. The only reason for divorce in Illinois is “irreconcilable differences.”
What if my spouse doesn’t want a divorce?

Yes, but consult with a lawyer first. Moving out can affect custody, support, and possession of marital property.
Can we use the same attorney for an uncontested divorce?
No, even in an uncontested divorce, one attorney cannot ethically represent both spouses. However, one party can hire an attorney to draft the agreement while the other reviews it independently.
Do I have to prove fault to get a divorce in Illinois?
No, Illinois is a no-fault divorce state, meaning you only need to show that irreconcilable differences have caused the breakdown of the marriage.
