In Illinois, the question of who gets the house in a divorce with children often depends on factors like custody arrangements and financial stability. Typically, the parent with primary custody may stay in the home to provide stability for the children. However, the other spouse may still be entitled to a share of the property, as Illinois is an equitable distribution state.
The final decision will take into account both parents’ financial situations and the home’s equity. In some cases, the house may be sold, and the proceeds divided between the spouses.
