Concentrating on Illinois Family Law Cases

Our lawyers handle a wide range of family law matters, as it is our core practice area. All cases present unique issues, but some of the more common matters in the context of family law include:

Minor Children: Illinois law protects the interests of children regardless of their parents’ marital status, encouraging agreement on such areas as Allocation of Parental Responsibilities and parenting time. If the parents cannot agree, a court looks to the child’s best interests to make a determination. A shared parenting approach to parenting is preferred, so the child benefits from maintaining healthy relationships with both parents.

Child support is also a critical issue. In a divorce, or upon establishing paternity, a judge will order one parent to provide for the child’s financial needs. Living expenses, education, entertainment, travel, and other costs may also be included in a child support order.

Dissolution of Marriage: Most spouses will address division of marital property and alimony in a divorce case. Though the Illinois’ divorce statute requires an equitable split, the end result may not be an equal split. Courts take many factors into account when there are disputes over asset division and spousal support, so there are advantages when spouses can work out an agreement or use mediation to resolve differences.
Adoption: There are many legal routes to welcoming a new member of the family, but many of the same the legal requirements apply. Failing to comply with the statute can lead to serious, costly consequences.
