A New Divorce Record?

Posted in Divorce Law, Family Law at 1:56 am by Administrator

An Illinois court recently awarded a wife $184 million dollars in one of the largest divorce judgments in the U.S. The husband and wife moved to the U.S. in 1976. Illinois apparently provides judges with considerable amounts of discretion when it comes to divorce cases. Here, the couple were married for a considerable amount of time and one can see how the wife would be entitled to a substantial award. Here is a link to an article on this divorce from Crain’s Chicago Business. Judges in Massachusetts also have considerable discretion when it comes to divorces. We have an faq on Massachusetts divorces law on our website.
