Illinois Judgment of Dissolution of Marriage with Children is an official court order that legally ends a marriage in which there are minor children involved. This type of judgment is issued by the Circuit Court in the state of Illinois, and it outlines the responsibilities of each party in the divorce, such as division of assets, child custody, and child support. The judgment also includes provisions for spousal maintenance, visitation rights, and other matters related to the dissolution of the marriage. There are two types of Illinois Judgment of Dissolution of Marriage with Children: Joint and Sole. In a Joint Judgment of Dissolution, both parties agree to the terms of the dissolution and sign the judgment. In a Sole Judgment of Dissolution, one party seeks the dissolution and the other party is served with notice of the dissolution and is given an opportunity to respond. The court then reviews the terms of the dissolution and signs the judgment if it is in the best interest of the minor children.
