Cook County Divorce Lawyers
Family Law Attorneys Serving Chicago, Maywood, Bridgeview and Skokie
If you are thinking about ending your marriage, the uncertainty of the future may be keeping you up at night. It is understandable that you might be confused, stressed out, and overwhelmed by the possibility of a divorce. At Wakenight & Associates, P.C., we know that divorce is rarely easy, but it could represent the beginning of a happier, healthier new life. With that in mind, we are equipped to help you manage the avalanche of spousal, parental, financial, logistical, emotional, practical, personal, and legal factors that could be complicating your case.
Our lawyers have more than 95 years of combined family law experience, which means we have worked with clients in all types of divorce cases. As such, we have the knowledge and tools to help you protect your rights and best interests at every stage of the divorce process.
Managing the Chaos
According to the law in Illinois, a divorce judgment or decree must address all of the issues relevant to the case in question, including the allocation of marital assets and debts, as well as considerations for spousal support if needed. If you and your spouse have children, your divorce judgment must also contain provisions for parental responsibilities, parenting time, and child support.
At Wakenight & Associates, P.C., our attorneys recognize that a negotiated settlement is generally preferred over contentious litigation in court. We advocate on our clients' behalf during negotiations to develop reasonable, customized settlements designed to meet the family's unique needs. Civil negotiations, however, are not always possible, and our lawyers are fully prepared to fight for your rights inside the courtroom as well.
While every divorce offers a number of challenges, some cases are more complicated than others are. Our team offers skilled guidance in all types of divorce situations, including:
- High-conflict divorce;
- High-asset divorce;
- Divorce over age 50;
- Same-sex divorce; and
- Divorce for stay-at-home mothers and fathers.
If your spouse cheated on you, we can help. If your spouse has hit, stalked, or harassed you, we can help. If your spouse is trying to turn your children against you, we can help. Our team has the legal knowledge and skills to assist you, no matter how complicated your situation may be.
Once the divorce judgment has been entered by the court, it becomes enforceable under Illinois law. When necessary, we will work with you in seeking modifications to meet your family's evolving needs.
