Bring your questions to a confidential consultation to see what your options really are.
Confidential. You speak with a licensed attorney, not an intake team.
Divorce, parental responsibilities, child support, maintenance, orders of protection and post-decree enforcement each follow different rules. Your attorney sorts out which ones apply to you.
Divorce outcomes are often shaped before the first court date. Gathering the right records and avoiding early missteps protects your position.
Custody is now the “allocation of parental responsibilities,” and visitation is “parenting time.” The rules behind those words decide your case.
Four Illinois rules come up again and again in family cases. Here they are in plain English, before your consultation.
Illinois uses equitable distribution. Marital property and debt are divided fairly based on factors like contributions, finances and the length of the marriage.
Decision-making and parenting time are decided on the child's best interests. There is no presumption in favor of either parent.
Child support is calculated from both parents' combined net income under the Illinois guidelines.
A court order can be enforced when it is ignored, and modified when circumstances substantially change.
We practice family and matrimonial law exclusively. Nothing else.
Property, support and parenting decided together, with a plan for each.
Parenting plans built around your children's best interests and stability.
Support calculations and agreements that are accurate, fair and enforceable.
Seeking support or asked to pay it, the number should rest on accurate financial information.
Real estate, retirement accounts, business interests and debt, identified and divided fairly.
Emergency and longer-term protection under the Illinois Domestic Violence Act.
Parental rights, parenting time and support for parents who were never married.
When life changes or an order is ignored, we take it back to court.
Attorney-assisted mediation to resolve disputes without prolonged litigation.
You shouldn't have to chase your own lawyer. Unlike many family law firms, we limit how many cases each attorney carries, and our attorneys personally and promptly respond to your questions.

Gather the right documents and set a strategy around your priorities.
Settle from a position of strength, through negotiation or mediation, when that serves you.
