Divorce Process Serving in Illinois

Your spouse must be formally served for a divorce to proceed. SimpleDivorce assigns a licensed process server who delivers the papers, documents each attempt with GPS and time stamps, and returns a notarized affidavit of service for the court. In Illinois, often 4–8 weeks for a fully agreed (joint simplified or uncontested) case.
