Divorce Representation

Legally dissolving your marriage can be a complex process, and it may involve disputes related to finances, property, children, or other issues. We can assist with different types of divorce, and we will work with you throughout the divorce process to meet your needs. We can help you understand your rights regarding asset and liability division and spousal maintenance, including in cases involving complex assets. We will work to protect your parental rights and your children's best interests when making decisions about the allocation of parental responsibilities (child custody) and parenting time (visitation). We can also help ensure that child support is calculated correctly and address any concerns you may have about removal of a child and relocation. We will help you understand whether you can use mediation or collaborative law to settle your disputes, and we will work to protect your rights in high conflict divorce situations. After your divorce is complete, we can assist with enforcement or modification of the court's orders.

Legal Help With Family Law Matters

We can provide you with dedicated legal help to address issues related to parents, children, or other family members. We will help you complete the adoption process, establish paternity for a child, establish guardianship for a minor child or disabled adult, or create a surrogacy or reproductive rights agreement. In situations involving domestic violence, we can help you obtain or defend against an order of protection, and we can also assist with juvenile law cases or DCFS hearings that may affect a person's parental rights. We also work with couples to create prenuptial or postnuptial agreements, and we assist adults and minors with obtaining legal name changes.
