Experienced Representation in Chicago Divorce Proceedings

Under Illinois Dissolution of Marriage Statutes, you do not need a specific reason to obtain a divorce in Chicago, other than that the marriage is irretrievably broken and beyond repair. Provided you and your former partner are both legal residents of the state and agree on divorce-related issues, your divorce can be granted in as little as a few months.

Unfortunately, for most couples, this is not always the case. Disagreements over the rights to money, property, or children can drag your divorce on indefinitely. At the Women’s Divorce & Family Law Group, our experience in handling these matters and our reputation in the legal community helps to ensure this will not be the case. We work to resolve divorce-related issues that must be attended to before the judge can issue a final order in your case. These include:  

Division of marital property, assets, and debts;

• Decisions regarding whether spousal support is in order;
• Child custody issues, regarding physical custody and legal authority in making decisions on behalf of your child;
• Child support and enforcement efforts, to ensure any amounts ordered are paid.
