- DivorceIn the realm of family law, many people do not feel that traditional litigation is always the best method for resolving issues between people. Alternative methods of dispute resolution such as collaborative divorce, mediation and arbitration have been gaining in popularity for some time.
- Child SupportThe reason for this is very simple and if you still don’t know the answer, then continue reading. Child Support is required in most cases because in order for a person to raise a child he needs to pay for the food, education and everything else that the child will need while growing up. Unfortunately, all of these things will cost quite a lot of money and for one parent it can be really hard to pay. That’s why the child support is required, it allows that one parent to pay all the expenses for the children. It is like a simulation of a marriage because, under normal conditions, two parents would share their income and pay for their children’s education.

However, in reality, parents often have pretty significant reasons for getting divorced. Sometimes these reasons revolve around one spouse trying to protect the children from the other spouse. In Illinois, determination of child custody is based on the best interest of the child standard.
