Clear Answers. Steady Advocacy.

No two divorces look alike. Some couples agree on nearly every key issue; others disagree on everything.

Whatever your situation, you deserve a local divorce attorney who understands Illinois law, tells you plainly what to expect at every stage, and keeps your long-term interests in focus.

55 Years of Combined Experience

Services in English, Spanish, and Arabic

Fair and Transparent Billing

We Match the Temperature Your Case Requires

Cooperative:

You agree on the big things. We make sure your divorce agreement is airtight, so nothing comes back to bite you later.

Negotiated:

Some issues need work, or the court requires mediation services. We stand firm for what you need, without turning every disagreement into a battle.

Litigated:

When cooperation isn’t possible, or when you need to enforce an agreement, we’re ready to fight for you in the courtroom—bringing 55 years of combined experience to your side.

Our skilled Illinois divorce lawyers take the time to listen and understand the unique details of your case. We don’t escalate for the sake of it, and we don’t back down when it counts.

Issues We Handle in Illinois Divorce

Division of Marital Property

The house, the 401(k), the business you built. We make sure every asset is found, fairly valued, and fought for.

Maintenance (Spousal Support)

Illinois has a formula, but formulas don’t know your story. Whether you’ll pay or receive support, we make sure the numbers reflect your real life.

Parenting Arrangements

From decision making authority to parenting schedules, we help you keep a real voice in your child’s life—and push back when someone tries to undermine your relationship.

Child Custody Services →

Child Support

Support should reflect what both parents really earn, not just what shows up on paper. We dig into the finances until the numbers are accurate and the agreement is fair.

Child Support Services →

Relocation

Moving with your child after divorce often requires court approval. Our experienced attorneys handle both requests and objections.

Domestic Violence

When safety is on the line, we move fast to secure orders of protection for you and your children. If you’ve been falsely accused, we fight to protect your rights.

A Full Support Team Behind Every Case

High-Asset Divorce Attorneys

When the stakes are high, every financial detail matters.

In a high-asset divorce, one overlooked account or undervalued business can cost you for years. We trace, value, and protect complex assets, including:

Privately held businesses and partnerships
Real estate holdings
Stocks, stock options, RSUs, and executive compensation
Retirement accounts, IRAs, and pensions
Trusts and inherited assets

When assets go missing, we follow the money and fight for what you deserve.

Divorce Mediation

Mediation brings you and your spouse together with a neutral third party to work toward an agreement. Some couples choose it from the start. Other times, the court orders it, especially when parents disagree about parenting issues. Either way, it’s often faster, less expensive, and more private than fighting every issue in court. Many mediators aren’t attorneys, so they can’t give you legal advice. We guide you through mediation so the agreement you sign actually protects you.

Prenuptial & Postnuptial Agreements

A well-drafted agreement can protect a business, preserve inheritances for children from a prior relationship, and set clear expectations about support. We draft, review, and challenge prenuptial and postnuptial agreements so they’re fair and built to hold up in court.

Post-Decree Modifications

Life doesn’t stop after your divorce is finalized. A job loss, remarriage, relocation, or change in a child’s needs can justify modifying support or parenting arrangements. We also help enforce orders when a former spouse isn’t following them.
