• Prenuptial Agreements: We help clients protect their separate property interests in the event of a future divorce by drafting and reviewing prenuptial agreements (prenups) before marriage.
  • Divorce: We provide compassionate, yet aggressive representation to clients regarding all issues related to divorce, including:
  • Child custody, shared parenting plans and visitation rights
  • Child support calculations according to Illinois child support guidelines and resolution of other financial matters including payment for insurance coverage, paying for college, braces or other special needs
  • Division of marital property including homes and other real estate, investment accounts, stocks and bonds and other property
  • Division of retirement and pension funds and drafting qualified domestic relations orders (QDROs) to divide retirement accounts
• Paternity Proceedings: When parents are unmarried, we can help establish legal parentage through a legal paternity action. Parental rights and obligations, including child custody and visitation rights and child support payments can also be resolved in a paternity action, either through mediation, negotiation, or litigation.
• Step-parent Adoptions: We capably facilitate adoptions by step-parents when a biological parent consents or is unable or unwilling to parent the child resulting in a termination of the biological parent's parental rights.
• Grandparent Rights and Guardianships: We can provide advice and counsel to parents or grandparents in visitation disputes and actions seeking legal guardianship or legal custody of a child.
• Post-Divorce Changes: A significant change of circumstances following a divorce may require a change in the terms of a divorce decree. We represent clients in motions seeking:
  • Child support adjustments to increase or decrease the amount of child support,
  • Termination or change in alimony ( an end of spousal support payments of an increase or decrease in the amount of alimony)
  • Modification of child custody or visitation
