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.
