Divorce Representation in Kane County

Divorce is one of the most complex and emotionally challenging family law matters you may face. We will advise you as you prepare for the divorce process and represent you in amicable negotiations or contested litigation depending on the nature of your case. Along the way, we will help you protect your interests and resolve disputes related to:

• Property division- Illinois requires a fair distribution of marital assets and debts in a divorce. We will work to protect non-marital property that belongs to you and advocate for a share of the marital properties that are most important to you, including your home, retirement savings, and other valuable assets.
• Spousal support - If you have a financial need or will otherwise struggle to maintain your standard of living without your spouse's income, we can help you negotiate or petition for spousal maintenance or alimony, both during and after the divorce process.
• Parental responsibilities and parenting time - Commonly known as custody, divorce matters involving your children are some of the most important to get right. We will help you stand up for your children's best interests and your own parental rights as you work toward an agreement or resolution regarding parental decision-making responsibilities and the time you will spend with your children.
• Child support - Financial support for your children is also crucial. We will help you understand the Illinois child support calculation and ensure that your support order is fair to you and provides your children with the resources they need.
