Family Law

• Divorce
  Collaborative law and mediation are fast becoming two of the most popular alternative dispute resolution techniques used in family law and divorce practices today. Although collaborative law and mediation have their own set of rules and are handled differently from each other, both offer certain legal advantages over divorce litigation.
• Child Support
  Since child support is determined by many different factors including income made by both parents, educational and medical expenses, as well as the number of children in the family, it’s important to have an experienced child support attorney who can help you make the appropriate child support calculations, based on your individual situation.
• Child Custody and Visitation
• Adoption
  Stepparent adoptions are not always difficult. In Illinois, the process can be relatively easy, so long as consent is received by the non-custodial biological parent, or if the biological parent is deemed to be unfit. If the biological parent cannot be found, a notice of adoption would need to be published and circulated for at least 30 days.
• Paternity
• Premarital Agreement
  As uncomfortable as it may seem to discuss the need for having a premarital agreement, it’s not uncommon these days for people who are getting married the first time, or even for those remarrying, to have a prenuptial agreement that will protect all assets acquired before marriage.
• Spousal Support
  Today you may have a job, tomorrow you may not. A change in employment, as a result of job loss or job promotion, ultimately affects child support payments, child custody, spousal maintenance, and any other stipulations that were outlined in your original divorce judgment.
• Legal Separation
