Illinois statute requires prevents a couple from getting a divorce until they have been living separate and apart for at least two years . . . unless BOTH parties agree to waive that requirement. In other words one spouse can hold up the marriage for 2 years if they want to. This can lead to one spouse holding the divorce paperwork for ‘ransom’, especially if that other spouse is ready to get remarried to the new love of their life. Such a roadblock can usually be resolved like just about everything else in life. Can you guess what one spouse can give to another to change their mind during a divorce? You guessed it! Money, and sometimes lots of it. Posted on July 15, 2008 by John Steele
