Divorce Representation
Divorce is never easy, but the right legal support can make the process more manageable. Our attorneys guide clients through every aspect of divorce, including:
- Property division
- Spousal support (alimony)
- Parenting plans and child-related issues
- Post-divorce modifications
We explain your rights, outline your options, and advocate strongly for your financial and parental interests at every stage.
Child Custody & Parenting Time
We represent parents in all types of custody and visitation cases, including:
- Denial of visitation
- Enforcement of custody or parenting time orders
- Modifications of existing orders
- Move-away and relocation cases
- Paternity and parental rights matters
For unmarried parents, we help establish paternity—protecting fathers’ rights to visitation and ensuring mothers receive the child support their children deserve.
Joint Custody in Illinois
In Illinois, parents often share joint legal custody, which allows both to participate in major decisions about a child’s education, healthcare, and upbringing. Physical custody, on the other hand, determines where the child primarily resides. Courts always focus on the best interests of the child, and our attorneys are skilled at presenting compelling evidence to demonstrate why your position best serves your child’s well-being.
