Considering the number of issues falling in the category of family law, there is a reasonable likelihood that you may need a family law attorney during your lifetime.

Our Illinois Family Law Practice Areas
Where some area firms cover a wide range of legal services, our lawyers focus specifically on family law issues. We can assist with:
- Dissolution of Marriage Cases: Many people view divorce as an unpleasant, hostile proceeding, but our attorneys can take the antagonism out of the process. Illinois law encourages parties to agree on asset division and alimony; if agreement is not possible, the law requires fairness in property distribution and spousal support.
- Allocation of Parental Responsibilities and Parenting Time: Illinois encourages a shared parenting approach to custody and visitation, so both parents are involved with raising minor children. The Allocation of Parental Responsibilities law covers significant decision making and parenting time, making the child’s best interests a priority.
- Child Support: Both parents have an obligation with respect to minor children, regardless of whether they were married at birth. Still, it is first necessary to establish paternity before child support responsibilities kick in. The statute includes provisions covering the amount and enforcement, and there are serious sanctions for noncompliance with the court’s orders.
- Modifications of Support Orders: As life changes, there may be implications for child and spousal support arrangements. It is possible to modify these financial obligations in the event of a significant change in circumstances.
