Chicago Divorce & Family Law Attorneys for Women

When your family is changing, you should not have to wonder whether your lawyer truly understands what you are facing. The Women’s Divorce & Family Law Group by Haid and Teich LLP was the first law firm in the Chicagoland area built around women’s and mothers’ rights — founded on the belief that women navigating divorce, custody, and everything that comes with them deserve a firm devoted to protecting them. For more than 15 years, that is exactly what we have done.

Our focus has earned real recognition: we have been named Super Lawyers every year from 2016 through 2025, recognized as a Top 10 family law firm by the American Institute of Family Law Attorneys, and featured in O, The Oprah Magazine and ELLE. But what matters most is what it means for you — a firm that knows the particular fears women bring to a divorce, the questions mothers ask about their children, and the financial futures that hang in the balance, and that has the experience to protect all three.

Whatever family law challenge you’re facing, you don’t have to face it alone. Talk with a Chicago family law attorney who represents women — free, confidential consultation, call 312-445-8830.

Why choose a firm that focuses on women?

Divorce and family law look different from a woman’s side of the table, and a firm built around that difference sees things a general practice can miss. A mother worried about losing time with her children, a wife who stepped back from a career and fears for her financial future, a spouse who suspects the other side is hiding money — each has concerns that deserve to be understood, not glossed over. Because representing women is not a sideline for us but the reason our firm exists, we bring that understanding to every case, along with the experience of thousands of matters handled for women and mothers across Chicagoland. You get a firm that anticipates what you are up against and knows how to protect what matters most to you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the firm only represent women?

We were the first firm in the Chicagoland area built around women’s and mothers’ rights, and representing women is our focus and our reason for existing. That focus lets us understand the particular concerns women and mothers bring to divorce and family law, and shape our representation around them. If you are a woman or mother facing a family law matter, this is a firm devoted to protecting you.

What areas of family law does the firm handle?

We handle the full range of family law: divorce, including high-net-worth divorce; child custody and parenting time; child support; spousal support and maintenance; property division, including complex and high-asset cases; prenuptial and postnuptial agreements; mediation and collaborative divorce; and domestic violence and orders of protection. Whether your matter is straightforward or complex, it is work we do every day.

What makes the firm different from other family law firms?

Two things: focus and standing. We were the first Chicagoland firm built specifically around women’s and mothers’ rights, so understanding a woman’s side of divorce is not an add-on — it is the foundation of the firm. And that focus has earned recognition, including Super Lawyers from 2016 through 2025, a Top 10 ranking from the American Institute of Family Law Attorneys, and features in O, The Oprah Magazine and ELLE.

Do you handle high-asset and complex divorces?

Yes. We represent women in high-net-worth and financially complex divorces involving business interests, stock options, deferred compensation, investment portfolios, and other hard-to-value or hidden assets. With a managing partner whose background is business litigation, establishing the true financial picture — and finding what a spouse may be concealing — is a particular strength.

Is the initial consultation free?

Yes. We offer a free, confidential consultation so you can understand your situation and your options before deciding how to move forward. It is a chance to ask your questions and get a clear sense of where you stand, with no obligation.
