Divorce
The Illinois divorce process includes many important issues that must be resolved, including the division of marital assets and debts, determinations of spousal support and child support, and the allocation of parental responsibilities. We can advise and represent you as you prepare for your divorce, identify your priorities, and work toward a favorable resolution through a settlement agreement or trial litigation so that you have a strong foundation as you begin the next stage of your life
Asset, Property, & Debt Division
We help you identify marital and non-marital assets and debts, and pursue an equitable division that protects your property and financial interests.
High Asset Divorce
We work with you to resolve complex issues related to high-value assets and properties including real estate, businesses, and retirement accounts.
Business and Self-Employed Valuations
We help self-employed individuals and business owners properly value their business or practice in preparation for the division of marital property.
Spousal Maintenance
In cases of need or financial inequality between spouses, we can help you pursue spousal maintenance to ensure financial security after divorce.
Family Law
We represent parents in legal matters that affect their parental rights and the well-being and safety of their children, both during the process of a divorce or legal separation and in cases in which parents have never been married to each other. We will advocate on your behalf to ensure that your child custody matter is handled properly.
Parentage and Paternity
When a child is born to unmarried parents, taking legal action to establish parentage or paternity is important to secure parental rights and support for the child.
Allocation of Parental Responsibility
Divorced or unmarried parents generally must come to an agreement regarding how they will share significant decision-making responsibilities for their children.
Parenting Time
We help you create a parenting time agreement that meets your needs, protects your relationship with your children, and allows them to maintain their routine.
Relocation
We represent parents who are attempting to relocate with their children or contest another parent’s relocation that is against the children’s best interests.
The UCCJEA and Interstate Jurisdiction
We have experience with cases in which a parent removes a child across state lines and creates complicated questions of child custody jurisdiction.
Hague Convention and International Custody Cases
We help parents secure the return of their children who have been wrongfully removed to the U.S. from their home country.
