Family Law for Illinois Bar Exam FAQ
What Family Law topics are covered?
Our flashcards cover marriage formation and validity, premarital agreements, divorce and annulment, property division (equitable distribution), spousal support, child custody and visitation, child support, adoption, paternity, and domestic violence protections.
How do flashcards help with Family Law analysis?
Family Law questions require applying multi-factor tests such as the best interests of the child standard. Our flashcards drill each factor and standard so you can systematically analyze custody, support, and property division issues.
Are premarital agreement rules covered?
Yes. We cover the enforceability requirements for premarital agreements including voluntariness, full disclosure, and unconscionability, as well as the modern trend toward the Uniform Premarital Agreement Act.
Do you cover both fault and no-fault divorce?
Yes. Our flashcards explain both fault-based grounds (adultery, cruelty, abandonment) and no-fault divorce provisions, including how fault may affect property division and spousal support in some jurisdictions.
