Who gets to keep the pets after a divorce in Illinois? "In 2017, Alaska became the first state to require judges in divorce cases to consider the pet’s well-being, similar to a standard applied in child-custody cases... The bill was the brainchild of the late state representative Max Gruenberg, who as a family lawyer had once handled a custody case involving a sled-dog team. It inspired Illinois to follow suit in 2018 and California in January 2019."

Infidelity and financial pressures are often catalysts in the demise of a marriage. However, Illinois is a no-fault state. That means courts cannot consider cheating on a spouse or “bad behavior” in allocating assets, liabilities or awards of support.

That said, Illinois courts can order a spouse who has dissipated funds to reimburse the marital estate. Reimbursement may cover a variety of purchases or activities that are not essential household expenses or do not benefit the marriage. Dissipation may include spending money on girlfriends or boyfriends, drug use, gambling or other activities that serve no purpose in the marriage.
