How Our Divorce Attorneys Support You
When divorcing couples can’t come to an agreement on key issues, like who gets what property, who’s responsible for which debts, how shared custody will work, or whether alimony is deserved, a Cook County family law judge steps in to decide the matter. Family law courts follow the Illinois family law statutes for property and debt division and prioritize the best interests of the couple’s children when determining custody. We prepare a solid case if these matters end up in court, with persuasive arguments for your position based on evidence and documentation. We also pick apart your spouse’s position, with well-constructed, legally-sound arguments.
If you wish to settle your divorce decree in the courtroom, we represent you in mediation and negotiations. In mediation, you have more control over the outcome. We can help you stay focused on your goals and ensure that you don’t make emotional decisions that aren’t in your best interests. Sometimes, clients aren’t even aware of the options available to them until we help them explore all the possibilities. Our creative solutions can help you protect what matters most.
