the length of a divorce case is
00:06
dependent
00:06
often on the issues involved so for
00:09
example a case that involves
00:11
a small estate with few assets it’s
00:13
obviously going to take less time and a
00:15
larger state with many assets
00:16
one of the big complications in a
00:18
divorce case of course is children and
00:20
when children are involved
00:21
the process can sometimes become bogged
00:23
down
00:24
because it’s so important to get that
00:27
piece right
00:28
under illinois law we’re supposed to
00:30
resolve issues relating to the children
00:32
within the first 18 months
00:34
and for the most part that’s done and
00:38
that is successful but there are times
00:40
when a case can stretch out
00:41
and and go much longer than that
00:43
unfortunately
00:44
and so it really depends on how willing
00:47
the parties are to get along
00:48
how willing the part how reasonable the
00:50
parties are willing to be in terms of
00:52
the arrangements that are going to be
00:53
made
00:54
and the complexity of the issues
00:55
involved in the case
