Whenever possible, we encourage our clients to seek a fair and amicable child custody agreement through negotiation. It is less costly and time-consuming than fighting for custody in court. Also, there are no guarantees as to the outcome when child custody is left to a judge to decide.

If negotiations reach an impasse, mediation can be a good solution for couples seeking an uncontested divorce. Attorney Sylvester is trained in alternative dispute resolution methods, including mediation, and offers counsel to clients throughout the mediation process.

When it is impossible to reach an amicable child custody agreement through negotiation or mediation, attorney Warren Sylvester has the know-how needed to fight effectively for our clients in court. He has more than 10 years of experience in devising aggressive litigation strategies aimed at achieving our clients' ultimate goals.

Parenting Time

The family law courts in Illinois understand how important it is for both parents to have close and caring "parenting time" relationships with their children. In some of today's families, both parents are equally involved in the day-to-day care of their children. As a result, the courts are increasingly open to a range of custody options, including joint custody and shared custody.

When both parents contribute equally to the financial support of their children, the courts will take that into consideration when determining child support.
