A court needs to have jurisdiction over the people and things in the case. This is the power to hear the case and make decisions. If you have met IL's requirements for filing a divorce, an Illinois court will at least have the power to make certain decisions for you, such as the decision to dissolve the marriage. However, the Illinois court may not be able to make decisions regarding property or children in South Carolina. When you have the choice of two different states, it might be helpful to consult with a lawyer to evaluate the facts before choosing which state to bring the action.
