what is the divorce process in kendall county?

Twenty-Third Judicial Circuit Court of Kendall 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.
