What is the difference between legal separation and divorce in Illinois?
The key difference is that divorce results in a dissolved marriage, while legal separation does not. One reason individuals may choose to separate is to ensure they are confident in a decision to divorce.
In order to legally separate, at least one spouse must file a formal petition for separation.
