Family Law
Family law issues can involve lasting decisions about your children, your finances, and your daily routine. Our experienced Illinois family law attorneys can help you understand your rights and guide you toward a resolution that protects your interests and your family's future.
Divorce
- The divorce process
- An amicable divorce
- Complex divorce
- Division of marital property
- Dissipation of marital assets
- Dividing marital debt
- Spousal support
- Long-term maintenance/alimony
- Bankruptcy and divorce
- Military divorce
- Legal separation
Divorce entails dividing property, addressing support, and, when children are involved, establishing parenting arrangements. Every case is different, and a well-prepared strategy can help reduce conflict while working toward a fair and efficient outcome.
High-Asset Divorce
- High-asset maintenance/alimony
- Complex property division
- Finding hidden assets
- Investment and retirement accounts
- Business valuation litigation
- Protecting professional practices
- Financial restraining orders
Divorces involving significant assets, such as businesses, investments, or multiple properties, often demand closer financial analysis. Valuing and dividing complex assets fairly can require input from financial professionals in addition to skilled legal counsel.
Post-Divorce Issues
- Enforcement of court orders
- Modification of child custody orders
- Modification of divorce judgments
- Modification of spousal support
Things can change after a divorce is finalized, and existing orders do not always fit new circumstances. Modifications to support or parenting time, and enforcement of existing orders, are common issues that arise long after the original case concludes.
Child Custody, Parental Responsibilities, and Related Issues
- Parenting time and visitation
- Parenting agreements
- Factors in deciding child custody
- Juvenile rights in child custody
- Creating a parenting plan
- Child relocation
- Parental relocation
Illinois law focuses on allocating decision-making responsibility and parenting time in a way that serves the best interests of the child. These matters can involve decision-making authority, schedules, and relocation requests, each requiring careful attention to detail.
Child Support
Child support calculations in Illinois are based on both parents' incomes and the needs of the child. Support orders may later require adjustment when a parent's income or the child's needs change significantly over time.
Other Family Law Issues
- Cohabitation agreements
- Domestic partnerships
- Fathers' rights
- Mothers' rights
- Grandparents' rights
- Paternity
- Guardianships
- Guardian ad litem
- Prenuptial agreements
- Postnuptial agreements
Family courts can also handle additional matters such as parentage and other legal relationships distinct from marriage. Each of these issues carries its own legal standards, and early guidance can help protect your rights from the outset.
Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)
- Mediation
- Why choose mediation?
- How mediation works
- Court-appointed vs. private mediation
- Conflict resolution
Mediation and other forms of alternative dispute resolution allow families to resolve disagreements without the need for lengthy court arguments. ADR can often save time and expense while giving both parties more control over the final outcome.
