Chicago, Illinois, Family Law Attorneys for Your Divorce
Divorces can be an emotional time for couples, but they are also a time where serious legal decisions must be made. At Dranias, Harrington & Wilson in Chicago, Illinois, we use years of legal experience to guide our clients through this difficult time. Our lawyers help you make the decisions that are right for you now and in the future.
In Illinois, a wide range of legal issues must be decided in a divorce. Dranias, Harrington & Wilson can help:
- Child custody: Parents generally know what is best for their children, but sometimes there is disagreement. Parenting agreements should meet the unique needs of parents and their children, which may include joint custody and shared parenting plans or sole custody arrangements with visitation plans.
- Child support and spousal maintenance (support): When awarding child support, Illinois courts consider issues like the net income of the parents and the number of children requiring support. Spousal maintenance (often called alimony) is determined by consideration of many factors including the standard of living established during the marriage and the needs and the income of each party.
- Distribution of property: Illinois courts divide all marital assets and debts equitably. This can become complicated when couples have complex assets like 401(k)'s, family-owned businesses and investments that have earned interest over time.
