We have a comprehensive understanding of Illinois state law governing everything from property division to child custody and visitation.

Call (630) 585-3164 for more information.

Illinois Property Division

Illinois state law requires that marital property—assets and liabilities acquired (with some exceptions) during the course of the marriage—be equitably divided. A skilled Illinois divorce lawyer will evaluate your entire estate and identify marital and non-marital property. Once marital property is identified, we will conduct appraisals to determine the net worth of shared assets.

We have extensive experience in dividing pension plans, ESOPs, 401(k)s, and 403(b)s. Our goal in all property division cases is to help ensure that you and your spouse recover your fair share of the marital estate. Contact us to learn more.

Divorce Mediation

Are you interested in avoiding expensive and time-consuming divorce litigation? If so, mediation may be your best alternative. Divorce mediation involves sitting down with a court-approved mediator who acts as a neutral third party in negotiating the terms of your marital agreement. Mediation gives you and your spouse the power to set guidelines for such issues as child custody, visitation, and property division.

Mediation is not right for everyone. Find out if it is right for you by calling (630) 585-3164.
