What is a no fault divorce?
In Illinois, one of the grounds for divorce is irreconcilable differences. The spouses have been living apart for two years, and there has been an irretrievable breakdown of the marriage. If the parties have been living apart for at least six months, they can waive the two-year requirement by filing a written stipulation of both spouses.

What is marital property?
