We'll get your records organized early and bring every asset into view so you can negotiate from a position of strength.
Confidential. You speak with a licensed attorney, not an intake team.
Bank records, tax returns, pay stubs and credit card statements. Gathering them early prepares you for negotiation or litigation.
Real estate, retirement accounts, business interests and debt, including assets held only in your spouse's name.
Parenting schedules and temporary financial arrangements carry you until the case is final.
Four Illinois rules shape what you keep, what you pay and how the case moves.
Illinois doesn't split property automatically 50/50. Courts divide it fairly based on factors like contributions, finances and the length of the marriage.
Generally, when combined gross income is under $500,000 and the payor has no prior support obligation, guideline maintenance is 33⅓% of the payor's net income minus 25% of the recipient's, limited so the recipient's income plus maintenance doesn't exceed 40% of combined net income.
A court can order one spouse to contribute to the other's attorney's fees, including interim fees while the case is pending.
Filing and service, financial disclosure, negotiation, trial if needed, and a judgment that becomes your enforceable roadmap.
Divorce is often a financial turning point. We protect your assets and pursue fair outcomes on each of these.
Who keeps it, who buys out whom, and how equity is divided.
Divided correctly, including QDROs and QILDROs.
Valued and divided, with buyouts or equalization payments where needed.
Including income that is understated or not being earned.
Temporary, short-term or longer-term support based on accurate financial information.
Parenting time and decision-making that support your children's stability.
Support and child-related expenses allocated accurately.
Tracing money that was moved, spent or left off the disclosure.
Stopping a spouse from draining accounts while the case is pending.
Many divorces resolve through negotiated settlement. If yours can't, we are fully prepared to litigate. Either way, you won't have to chase your lawyer for answers.
