Divorce: When your marriage breaks down and there is no possibility of working things out, you need an understanding and experienced Illinois family lawyer to protect your interests without creating unnecessary battles, especially where kids are involved. Where there are maintenance (previously called alimony) issues, I can help you determine your rights. Contact me for a free initial consultation.
-
Custody: When unfortunate child custody issues arise, I feel it is usually in the best interests of the family for Mom and Dad to settle their issues amicably rather than fight over the kids, therefore, I may advise mediation with an unbiased mediator for the parties rather than a custody trial. In many instances this can save you money and time, as well as unnecessary emotional distress on the family.
-
Child Support: If your needs have changed with regard to the amount you pay or receive in Illinois child support for your minor children, I can help you figure out the statutory amount you should be paying or receiving based on your current circumstances and assist you in getting your child support order amended to better reflect your current situation. I can also assist you with back child support issues.
-
Adoption: I also handle related and unrelated adoptions. I will help guide you through the complicated paperwork and legal steps necessary to effectuate an adoption.
-
Guardianship: Whether it be a disabled adult or minor child who needs a guardian, there are certain legal steps necessary for a person to achieve guardianship over another person and/or his or her estate.
-
Name Changes: I can help you with your own name change or that of a minor child. Contact me for a free initial consultation.
