Divorce

At Strategic Divorce, our focus is to help our clients transition to divorce in a respectful and non-adversarial way. Each client’s circumstances are different and require special care and attention when guiding them to their goals and needs.

Divorce can be messy, but with the right divorce attorney at your side, many complications can be overcome. Everyone in a divorce setting deserves to be heard, and we’ll make sure that our clients know their options during a divorce. Divorce is stressful, and it can be traumatic for the individuals involved. Couples going through a divorce are faced with the uncertainty of their financial future, their homes, possessions, and children.

Hiring the right divorce attorney will ease the stress and make the process much more bearable. It is essential to have a divorce attorney that is skilled at negotiating settlements and trying cases in court on your behalf. It can be challenging to accurately predict what the outcome will be in a divorce case, but at Strategic Divorce in Lake Bluff, IL, our attorneys will guide you in the right direction.

Post-Decree/Post-Divorce Disputes

Under appropriate circumstances, a party may seek a modification of custody/parenting time, child support, maintenance and other financial rights and obligations.

Changes in your or your former spouse/partner’s personal, family or financial circumstances may warrant a modification of your judgment for dissolution of marriage or parenting agreement. Enforcement actions may become necessary when a party fails to pay child support, fails to pay maintenance, fails to take an action required by the settlement agreement, or interferes with the other parent’s visitation.

The attorneys at Strategic Divorce are highly adept at handling enforcement and modification issues in post-decree disputes.

Parentage & Paternity

An increasing number of couples are having children without entering into marriage. In these cases, the court may need to declare the father to be the biological father of the child in order for the father to be granted parental rights and responsibilities regarding the child.

The rights and responsibilities of unmarried parents and their children are governed by the Illinois Parentage Act. Under Illinois law, the same standards regarding custody and allocation of parental responsibilities and child support that are applied to divorcing couples are applied to unmarried parents.

At Strategic Divorce, our family law attorneys are well-versed in handling paternity/parentage, child support and custody matters in a manner which serves the best interests of our clients and, most importantly, their children.

Orders Of Protection

If you or your children are the victims of verbal, emotional or physical abuse, you can obtain legal protection through an order of protection or restraining order. Victims of abuse often feel helpless, confused and afraid.

At Strategic Divorce, our family law attorneys have extensive experience in dealing with domestic violence issues and obtaining orders of protection and restraining orders on behalf of our clients and their children. Our attorneys will connect you with additional resources, including mental health professionals and domestic violence support groups to provide you with maximum support throughout this difficult process.

Strategic Divorce has also defended individuals accused of abuse or domestic violence.
