Northbrook Divorce Attorneys
Attorneys For Divorces in Northbrook, Illinois
If your relationship with your spouse has broken down, if you have experienced high levels of conflict in your relationship, or if you believe that the two of you would be happier apart, it may be time to consider divorce. However, it is important to understand that divorce is a complex legal process that can affect nearly every aspect of your life, from your finances to your family dynamics and your ability to succeed in the future. At The Law Office of George J. Skuros, our Northbrook divorce attorneys are dedicated to providing comprehensive legal guidance and support for people who are going through divorce. We can provide the assistance you need during this challenging time. Our approach is not only to address the standard aspects of divorce but also to tackle the nuanced and often overlooked issues that may arise.
Comprehensive Divorce Representation in Northbrook
Our lawyers are well-versed in the complexities of Illinois divorce law, and we are prepared to handle a wide range of divorce-related issues, including but not limited to:
- Ensuring that you and your spouse can divide your assets and debts fairly and equitably.
- Helping you negotiate a parenting plan that details how issues related to the allocation of parental responsibility and parenting time will be addressed going forward.
- Establishing child support obligations that will be based on your and your spouse's incomes while accounting for all necessary child-related expenses.
- Determining eligibility for spousal support and ensuring that the amount and duration of these payments is calculated correctly.
Beyond these standard issues, our attorneys are skilled in addressing less common but equally critical aspects of divorce, including:
Business Valuation and Division
If you and your spouse own businesses together, or if either of you owns significant business interests, determining the value of these assets and how they will be divided is likely to be an important part of your divorce. Our team can work with financial experts to accurately assess the value of businesses and ensure that business assets and other marital property can be divided fairly.
Retirement Accounts and Pensions
Dividing retirement accounts and pensions requires a thorough understanding of both state law and federal regulations. We can help evaluate these assets and determine the most equitable way to divide them. We can ensure that Qualified Domestic Relations Orders (QDROs) or other methods are used to allocate funds or benefits without being required to pay taxes or penalties.
High Net Worth Divorce
If your family has a high net worth, you may face unique challenges during your divorce. We can work with financial experts to analyze complex financial situations, appraise high-value assets, ensure that tax considerations are addressed correctly, and ensure that your financial interests will be protected. Our team is experienced in navigating these complicated matters, and we will work to address and resolve financial concerns as efficiently as possible while helping you develop asset protection strategies.
Parental Relocation
During or after your divorce, one parent may plan to relocate for various reasons. Common reasons for relocations include the pursuit of employment opportunities, the desire to live closer to other family members, or plans for remarriage. We can help you understand the requirements that may apply for a parent who plans to relocate, and we can assist with requests for post-divorce modifications of child custody or other terms of your divorce decree in these situations.
Domestic Violence and Orders of Protection
In situations where domestic violence is a concern, securing the safety of you and your children is paramount. Our attorneys can assist in obtaining orders of protection, and we can help ensure that child custody, child support, spousal support, and other related issues will be addressed correctly during the divorce process.
