Park Ridge Legal Services for Divorce in Illinois

When getting a divorce, you will need to work toward a resolution that protects your financial and parental interests. If you and your spouse want to pursue an uncontested divorce, we can advise you throughout negotiations and help you file your settlement and other important documents with the court. In a high-conflict divorce that must be resolved through litigation, we will advocate confidently on your behalf. Some of the divorce issues we help with include:

• Division of marital property
• Spousal maintenance
• Allocation of parental responsibilities
• Parenting time
• Child support
• Tax, insurance, and retirement considerations
• Post-divorce enforcement and modifications

Other Park Ridge Family Law Services

We also help with many family law issues outside of the divorce process. If you are soon-to-be-married, or if you want to establish additional protections during your marriage, we can work with you and your spouse to create a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement regarding your property and assets. If you have a child while unmarried, we can help you establish paternity voluntarily or judicially, as well as establish court orders allocating child support obligations and parental responsibilities and parenting time when appropriate. If you or your children are at risk of domestic abuse, we can help you obtain an order of protection from your abuser.

Park Ridge Divorce Attorney for Real Estate and Probate

Aside from our focus on family law, we provide legal services for other matters that commonly arise when you get a divorce, get married, or have children, or when you simply wish to provide a good life for your family. With our experience in Illinois real estate law, we can help you fairly value your home and other real estate properties in preparation for the divorce process, as well as handle the selling, buying, or refinancing of your real estate property as part of your divorce agreement.

We can also help with the creation of an estate plan to provide protection for you and your family during your lifetime and after your death. This includes drafting or updating a will to provide important instructions for your assets during the probate process, considering options like trusts that protect your assets from probate, assigning powers of attorney for your property and healthcare, and nominating guardians for your minor children. We also assist with other probate issues, including the guardianship of disabled adults and the transfer of assets through intestate succession.
