Family law matters are challenging for a number of reasons. There are complicated laws governing such issues as divorce, child custody and support, paternity, and adoption. Plus, emotion often enters the picture considering the personal relationships you have with family members and loved ones. You put your legal rights at risk if you try to represent yourself in a family law case.

At Law Office of Demetrios N Dalmares and Associates Ltd., our lawyers believe that everyone is entitled to equal representation in a family law case.

Our Illinois Family Law Practice Group

Regardless of the family law issue you are facing, we can provide you with the legal assistance you need. Our attorneys offer representation in such areas as:

Dissolution of Marriage: While every case is unique, many couples face some of the same issues in a divorce case. The law in Illinois encourages parties to come to an agreement regarding division of marital assets and spousal support. However, where this is not possible, a court will enter an order that distributes property according to principles of equity. If alimony is appropriate, either on a temporary or permanent basis, there are formulas that a judge uses to calculate the amount.
Issues Regarding Minor Children: Replacing the traditional concepts of custody and visitation, Illinois now refers to Allocation of Parental Responsibilities and parenting time. Again, the law promotes agreement between parents, whether the case is connected to divorce or not.

Child support is another consideration, and there are options to enforce an order where necessary to provide proper financial means for a minor child.

Paternity: Mothers and fathers have reason to establish legal paternity for children, whether due to child support issues, or simply to be part of a child’s life. There are legal requirements depending on the situation, such as submitting proper forms and going through court proceedings.

Client Reviews

Chester G.

This place is 1000% recommendable! So far the process has been super smooth and easy to deal with. They placed all my worries out the window and I've slept better knowing they are on my team. Currently in tears knowing I'll be able to resolve this but sad that it's never going to be the family I thought I could have had. It's ok though, it's time to move forward. Thanks DnD.
