I just got divorced on Monday. I used Michael Chapski in elgin, his fee for me was $2500. I tried to do it on my own but the papers were a headache. I went to the courthouse 7 times even met with the pro bono lawyers who were worthless. My case included property, a child, and an ex in a different state so if ur case is funky just pay a lawyer saves u grief. If the ex is living in the state AND he’s agreeing with the terms then do it urself it’s more like $650 now (cook county), mine was done in 3 mo but it could be quicker if he’s here and he agrees
