Legal Help in Complex Divorce Cases

Whether you and your spouse have chosen to amicably end your marriage or are having trouble reaching an agreement, our divorce lawyers will advocate for your rights and interests. We provide representation in cases involving:

• Asset and Debt Division - We can help you reach a divorce settlement in which your marital property, including complex assets such as pensions or investment accounts, is divided in a fair and equitable manner. If necessary, we can help protect your interests in cases involving the dissipation of assets.
• Spousal Support/Alimony - If you or your spouse believe that financial support is necessary in order to maintain the same standard of living after divorce, we can help determine whether spousal maintenance should be awarded and ensure that the amount and duration of payments are calculated correctly.
• Child-Related Issues - Our attorneys will fight for your children's best interests in proceedings to determine the allocation of parental responsibilities and parenting time. We will also ensure that child support obligations are determined correctly, protect your rights in disputes over parental relocation, and address issues related to fathers' rights and stay at home parents.
• High Conflict Divorce - We will help you reach a resolution in contentious divorce disputes, including cases involving cheating and adultery, addiction or mental health concerns, parental alienation, or electronic monitoring and other forms of harassment. If there is an emergency situation that threatens your safety, we will help you and your children obtain an order of protection.
• High Asset Divorce - Our lawyers will help you understand the best ways to resolve concerns about complex issues involving large incomes or valuable assets. We can work to reach a resolution in cases involving real estate property and investments or business interests (including family-owned businesses). We can also help you address tax concerns and issues related to hidden income or assets.

We also assist with divorce for couples over the age of 50, same-sex marriage and divorce, and enforcement or modification of divorce orders.

Family Law Matters

We can provide you with the representation you need in other types of family law cases, including:

• Parentage/Paternity - We will help you meet the requirements to establish legal paternity, which will protect parents' and children's rights and ensure that children receive financial support from both parents.
• Adoption - We will provide dedicated representation throughout the entire process of adopting a child, addressing legal concerns related to adoptive parents, adoptive children, birth parents, adoption agencies, or DCFS.
