Divorce and Family Law Matters in Kendall County

If your marriage has broken down, we can help you understand your legal options, including pursuing a legal separation if you are not ready to proceed with a divorce. Once you have begun the divorce process, we can assist in addressing the legal issues involved in your case, including:

• Divorce resolution - You will want to determine the type of divorce you want to pursue. If you plan to have an uncontested divorce, we can help you negotiate a settlement or assist you in using methods of alternative dispute resolution like collaborative law or mediation. If you expect to have a contested divorce, we can represent you in your divorce trial.
• Child issues - If you and your spouse have children together, you will need to decide how you will share in the responsibility of raising them and how their time will be divided between both parents. We assist divorcing and unmarried parents in addressing child custody issues and creating parenting plans that establish rules and parenting time schedules. We can also ensure that all relevant factors are considered when calculating child support obligations, including parents' responsibility to contribute to children's college expenses or other types of non-minor support.
• Property issues - Decisions about property division and spousal support can have a significant impact on your financial stability following your divorce. We can ensure that you consider the financial ramifications of these decisions, including determining how to address assets such as real estate or pensions and retirement accounts.
• Complex divorce - There are a variety of financial concerns that can make the divorce process more complex. You may need to complete a business valuation of any business interests owned by you or your spouse, and you may want to take steps to protect a professional practice. If you are nearing retirement age or are already retired, you will need to be sure that you can continue to meet your ongoing needs. We can help you address these issues, and we can also assist with concerns involving high-conflict divorce disputes.
• Post-decree matters - After your divorce has been finalized, you may need to petition for a modification of your divorce decree or judgment based on changes in your family's circumstances, or you may need to take steps to enforce the court's orders.
