What is the name of your state? IL I moved into an apartment with a girlfriend once we decided to get married. Well, things took a turn for the worse, and we decided to part ways. We broke the lease on our apartment. I was named as the main leasee (did I spell that right?), and she was listed...

I looked at the laws under the link you provided (Thanks!), and from what I read, they can't withhold my security deposit unless they give me something in writing stating damages to the apartment within 45-days (which there were none). I didn't see anything on terminating my lease though. Did I...

I've looked my lease over, and there's nothing in there about giving 60-days notice, or the charges they're trying to get from us. Do you happen to have a link to the Landlord/Tennant laws you're talking about? Just so I don't end up with incorrect information... Thanks again!

What is the name of your state? IL My girlfriend and I had to break out of the lease on our apartment. We moved in on December 8, 2004, and were moved out by January 9th 2005. We paid $150 security deposit, and the first month was free. I was told that since we're breaking the lease, we have to...

Sorry to bump my own post, but I could really use some information if anyone has any. Thanks!

What is the name of your state? IL On July 2nd, I was fired from my job. I was a mechanic apprentice at a large dealership. Back in November, at the start of my divorce, I was told I needed to step it up a little bit. Understandably, I was moving a little slower and less enthusiastic than...

What is the name of your state? IL I am looking to get more information on bifurcating (am I using that properly?) my divorce so that I may remarry. I don't want this to negatively affect my divorce proceedings, or rather the custody trial scheduled for later this year. Is this a simple process...

Our divorce papers don't say anything regarding this matter, that's why I was asking. For the record, I'm not complaining about it. Just wondering. No, 20-miles isn't too far for me to drive... as I plan on moving as well. I'm not sure if it'll be closer to her or farther away... either way, I'd...

What is the name of your state? IL My soon to be ex-wife and I are working on a settlement agreement so we can get the divorce over and done with. One of the things she's asking for is about $1,500 since she is "upside-down" on the value of her car. When we split up, I took our pickup (which...

That's the part I don't really understand. She's pretty much run me over in every other way, and hasn't looked back since... so I can't really figure out why she asked me unless her lawyer told her she had to have my "blessings" for some reason. I don't know...

Anyone have a thought on this?

Thanks for the replies. I was just wondering if there was a particular reason she was asking me if it was okay or not. She has an attorney, I don't. But, like I said before... if it was someone she has known for a long time, it'd be fine with me. To me, I don't think she's known this guy long...

I honestly don't mind him being there, I'm just wondering if it's okay from a legal standpoint. My wife called me one day "asking" if it was okay if he moved in. At the time, I said no soley based on not wanting her bringing guys in and out of my kids lives so quickly. But given the fact that...

What is the name of your state? IL Is it okay for the primary custodial parent to have someone living with them when the divorce is not final yet? My soon-to-be ex-wife has this guy living with her that she met in February, didn't see for two months, then they started dating about a month and a...

What is the name of your state?IL Can anyone tell me what the laws are regarding the custodial parent being able to move out of state with the children? If my ex wanted to move out of northern Illinois to southern Wisconsin, would that generally be allowed since it's only about 20-miles? Or...
