WHAT IS THE DIVORCE PROCESS IN KANE COUNTY?
Sixteenth Judicial Circuit Court of Kane County
Do I have to wait for a court date and go to court?
No. Prove-up, or the final court date for a divorce in which a judge confirms that all legal requirements have been met, can be done via affidavit, meaning that divorcing spouses never actually have to go to court. However, note that the judge does have the right to require an in-person court appearance.​​
Do I have to take a parenting class?
In Illinois, divorcing parents with minor children are required to take a parenting education class. In Kane County, the parenting class can be taken after the case is filed, as the case number is needed to register.
Parents can register for the parenting class here. In Kane County, the costs for the parenting class are included in court filing fees.
