Legal Issues in Bolingbrook Divorce Cases
As you work to finalize your divorce, we can help you understand the issues you will need to address, and we will work with you to determine the best strategies for resolving disputes with your spouse. We can provide legal help with:
- Types of divorce - Depending on whether your divorce is contested or uncontested, you have different options available for the resolution of divorce disputes. Our lawyers can help you negotiate a divorce settlement or use alternative dispute resolution (mediation or collaborative law) to reach agreements with your spouse. If you are unable to reach a settlement, we can advocate for you in divorce litigation.
- Complex divorce - Issues such as mental health, substance abuse, or other emotional concerns can lead to a high-conflict divorce. You may also need to address ownership of a professional practice or family business, and in these cases, a business valuation may need to be performed. If you are getting a divorce near or during retirement, you will want to be sure you will have the financial resources to meet your ongoing needs.
- Property issues - As you complete the process of property division, you will need to identify your marital and non-marital assets and determine how to divide personal property, real estate, financial accounts and investments, and retirement accounts and pensions. You will also need to address whether spousal support/maintenance will be needed to help one spouse meet their needs following the divorce.
- Child issues - As a parent, you will want to make sure the best interests of your children are protected in the decisions you and your spouse make about the allocation of parental responsibilities (child custody). We can assist in creating a parenting agreement that establishes both parents' roles and responsibilities and specifies schedules for parenting time. We can also make sure child support obligations, including college expenses and non-minor support, are calculated correctly based on the amount of income earned by both parents.
- Post-divorce enforcement or modification - After your divorce has been finalized, you may need to ensure that your ex-spouse complies with the court's orders. We can work with you to enforce your divorce decree, and we can help you petition the court for any necessary modifications to child custody, spousal support, or child support.
