Our family law attorneys provide services to a diverse group of clients throughout the area, and we are prepared to handle your family law matter with competence, compassion and discretion.

FAMILY LAW ALERT: Illinois family laws changed drastically as of July 1, 2017. Click here to see how child support was affected.

Just as there are a variety of different families, our legal professionals deal with a number of different family law issues, including:

• Divorce: Regardless of the number of minor children and the amount of property, a marriage dissolution is generally an emotional occasion for any family.
• Adoption: In contrast, an adoption is often a joyous occasion for a new family, provided that these matters are handled according to the proper law and procedure.
• Paternity: A paternity action is often a necessary prerequisite to a custody or support matter, and it can also bring some closure to a situation.
• Child Custody and Visitation: It is important that these child custody and visitation orders are both realistic and fair, and that they meet the needs of each individual family.
• Child Support: These proceedings often involve either setting an initial amount of child support or the enforcement of an existing order.
• Alimony: Spousal maintenance is an important financial aspect of many property settlements, and the obligor's ability to pay must be balanced with the obligee's need for funds.
• Modification of Orders: Life happens, and the orders which were perfectly workable when they were written may need to be modified every few years. Sometimes, a modification of orders even more frequently than that.
• Discovery of Assets: No matter how hard a spouse tries to conceal assets, an attorney has the tools needed to find them when discovery of assets is necessary in divorce proceedings.
• Asset Distribution: The overarching goal is a fair division of property, which is not necessarily the same thing as an equal division.

Other family law cases include a name change, grandparents' visitation rights, protective orders and nonparent custody.

While some of these cases can be wrapped up in only a few weeks or months, others may take considerably longer. Whether the judge signs a final order right away or there is a complex process of temporary hearings, oral and written discovery and formal or informal mediation, our lawyers will stand up for you until the job is done.
