Services
Divorce Representation
Our firm handles all aspects of divorce proceedings, from initial consultations through final settlements. We specialize in contested divorces involving complex financial assets, business valuations, and high-net-worth clients. Our attorneys employ both litigation and collaborative approaches to achieve favorable outcomes while minimizing emotional distress. With extensive courtroom experience and mediation expertise, we protect client interests in property division, spousal support, and parenting arrangements.
Child Custody
We represent clients in establishing and modifying custody arrangements under Illinois' updated parental responsibility framework. Our attorneys help create comprehensive parenting plans addressing decision-making responsibilities and time-sharing schedules. We handle contested custody cases involving relocation, parental alienation, and interstate issues. With deep knowledge of Illinois law changes since 2016, we advocate for arrangements that prioritize children's best interests while protecting parental rights.
Property Division
Our team specializes in equitable distribution of marital assets, including real estate, retirement accounts, and business interests. We work with financial experts to accurately value complex assets and trace separate property claims. We handle high-asset divorces requiring Qualified Domestic Relations Orders and tax strategy planning. Our attorneys negotiate favorable settlements or litigate when necessary to ensure fair distribution of property according to Illinois law.
Child Support
We assist clients with establishing, modifying, and enforcing child support orders under Illinois' updated guidelines. Our attorneys handle cases involving deviation requests, healthcare expense allocations, and college tuition provisions. We explain how combined income calculations affect support obligations and help clients navigate enforcement mechanisms for delinquent payments. Our approach balances legal requirements with clients' financial realities.
Post-Divorce Modifications
We help clients modify existing divorce decrees for significant life changes like job loss, relocation, or altered parenting needs. Our attorneys handle modifications for custody arrangements, support payments, and visitation schedules. We also enforce court orders when former spouses fail to comply with agreed terms. Our team ensures all modifications receive proper judicial approval to maintain legal enforceability.
