Warrenville Family Law Attorneys

Whether you are considering ending your marriage, tired of chasing down your former spouse for overdue child support payments, or want to make the divorce process as easy as possible for yourself, you should work with an experienced family lawyer. Family law can be complicated, and a lawyer’s job is to make legal processes as straightforward as possible for his or her clients.

Despite changing roles in the household and the workforce, there are still many ways women experience divorce differently than men. In a family law case, it is important for a lawyer to take the time to fully understand the client’s specific needs, which are often, but not always, influenced by his or her gender.

Areas Our Firm Handles

Family law is a broad practice area. Our team works with clients facing the following:

• Parenting Plans. What was once known as child custody is now known as a parenting plan. A parenting plan has two components: parenting time, the time the child spends in each household, and parental responsibilities, the rights of each parent to make decisions on the child’s behalf. A parenting plan involves specific guidelines in both areas for the child’s parents. Our team can help you establish, modify, or enforce your child’s parenting plan;
• Child Support. Child support and parenting plans tend to go hand-in-hand. Child support is the money one parent pays to the other to help offset the costs of raising their child. We work with parents to establish, modify, and enforce child support orders;
• Pre-divorce Planning. Prenuptial agreements, documents that outline how a couple’s assets are to be divided in the event of a divorce or death, are only one way to plan for a divorce. Others include postnuptial agreements, the same type of document as a prenuptial agreement except they are signed after the couple is married, and counseling with a lawyer before filing for divorce to reach realistic expectations for the divorce process;
• Divorces. When an individual knows his or her marriage is over, we work with that individual to file for divorce and move through each stage of the process to the finalization of the divorce settlement. Our team is equipped to provide compassionate, goal-oriented divorce representation; and
• Business decisions impacted by divorce. Our team has business law experience that we can draw upon to help you through the business-related decisions that can accompany your divorce, such as dividing a small business.

Do not assume that we can only help you if you are legally married. Our team also works with individuals and couples in domestic partnerships and civil unions.
