Appearance (Divorce) {ATJ 111.5}

ATJ111. 5 - APPEARANCE (DIVORCE). This form is used in Illinois to officially notify the court that a person is participating in a divorce case. By completing and filing this form, the person—either representing themselves or through an attorney—formally tells the court that they are responding to the divorce proceedings and want to be involved in the case. The form requires basic identifying information such as name, pronouns, contact details, and whether the filer is representing themselves or acting through a lawyer. It also includes a section for military status, which is important because individuals on active duty have special legal protections. Signing the form certifies that the information provided is true and acknowledges the legal consequences of submitting false information. For those concerned about safety, such as in cases involving domestic violence, the form allows for the use of an alternative address to protect their location. www.FormsWorkflow.com
