Many people think that if debt is in only one person's name, that debt will necessarily stick with that person after the divorce. But that's not the case.
In fact, if debt was acquired during the marriage, then with rare exceptions, that debt is marital debt, and therefore, could be the responsibility of BOTH parties after a divorce.
This is just one example of why it makes sense to hire an uncontested divorce lawyer in Illinois. Our flat fee for uncontested divorce will probably appear small compared to having any problems with debt.
