We are committed to providing our clients with helpful and reliable information. This helps them to make well-informed decisions about how to achieve their goals.
We understand that it is normal for individuals facing divorce to get caught up in the moment, but we encourage our clients to focus on the future. We help them to set realistic expectations for what lies ahead once the divorce process is over.
Our family law practice encompasses matters related to:
- Divorce: prenuptial agreements and postnuptial agreements.
- Division of marital assets and debts: We are thoroughly knowledgeable about the tax ramifications of asset and debt division.
- Division of property and pension benefits: We work with forensic accountants when necessary to identify and inventory marital assets.
- Child custody, visitation and parenting time: Although these issues can be the most difficult to resolve, the courts today are more open to innovative custody arrangements than ever before.
- Child support: We help clients understand the child support calculation method mandated by the state of Illinois.
- Alimony and spousal maintenance: As in all financial matters pertaining to divorce, it is vitally important for both spouses to have realistic expectations about their future employment potential.
- Mediation and alternative dispute resolution: We advise clients throughout mediation to ensure they get the most out of their participation in this efficient and cost-effective process.
- Modifications and enforcement: As soon as there is a significant change or something appears to be going wrong, it is extremely important to get advice, especially when custody is involved.
- Paternity and adoption: Typically, determining the identity of a father can be done very simply through DNA testing.
