I urge you to obtain legal advice from an atorney before you fill out anything that could bind you in court.  Assets in a divorce must first be catagorized as "marital" and "non-marital".  Illinois is an Equitable Distribution state, not an equal disitrbution state, although many times parties agree to divide things equally.  Good luck.
