Focusing on Illinois Family Law Cases

We handle a wide range of cases and disputes in the area of family law, so you can trust our lawyers to assist with such matters as:

Divorce: Division of marital property and spousal support are two key issues that divorcing couples will face. The Illinois’ divorce statute requires a fair distribution of assets acquired during the marriage, and courts take into account various factors in awarding property to the spouses. When alimony is appropriate in order to balance income and need between the parties, the law includes formulas to calculate an award for spousal support.
Custody and Support of Minor Children: Illinois courts look to the child’s best interests when determining the Allocation of Parental Responsibilities, which covers significant decision making on such issues as healthcare, education, and religion. A judge will also enter an award related to parenting time, to ensure the child maintains a relationship with both parents.

A non-custodial parent will likely have certain responsibilities regarding financial support as well. Illinois law provides options for enforcing a child support order where necessary, as there are severe consequences for failure to comply with a child support order.

Domestic Violence and Protective Orders: Illinois takes domestic abuse very seriously, and there are multiple alternatives to obtain emergency, temporary, and long-term orders for protection. These proceedings are extremely complicated, so it is critical to retain a lawyer to represent you as the victim. You do have rights if you are accused of domestic violence as well, and an attorney can defend you in court.
