Family Law
Family law cases can be life-changing. Divorce encompasses everything from dividing your marital assets to establishing child support and parenting time. Child custody and parentage cases impact the relationship you share with your children. Your right to make decisions on your child's behalf and the amount of time you spend with him or her is likely to change. We carefully work to resolve these issues out of court wherever possible. Strategies like mediation or negotiation can help you resolve these issues with our guidance.
Child Custody
Few cases tug at the heartstrings like child custody cases. Parents are often fearful when they divorce or split up. You may be worried about what the other parent will say, or you may have concerns about gender bias in your parenting time dispute. Our lawyers will do all we can to protect your relationship with your child and maximize your parenting time. We will also strive to help you maintain the right to make important decisions about your child's upbringing.
Child Support
In Illinois, both parents have a legal duty to meet their child's needs financially. The cost of raising a child can be too much for a single parent to manage alone. Generally, the parent who has more parenting time may be entitled to collect child support. In some cases, paternity may need to be established before child support orders are put in place. Our attorneys can make sure child support is calculated correctly based on the parents' incomes and parenting time schedules.
Paternity
Either parent can file a paternity case in Illinois. One parent may need to establish a biological relationship between a child and the other parent so that they can enforce child support or a parenting plan. A parent who wants to start spending time with their child may also initiate a parentage case so that they can work towards establishing a parenting plan addressing parenting time and significant decision-making. Our lawyers can help parents start paternity cases with or without the other parent's cooperation.
Post-Judgment
After a family law case is concluded, it may be necessary to address issues related to the orders put in place by the court. If a family experiences significant changes, modifications to a parenting plan or financial support order can be requested. If an ex-spouse or parent does not meet their legal obligations, action may be taken to enforce the court's orders. Our attorneys can provide representation to ensure that post-judgment issues will be addressed correctly.
