Focusing On Your Illinois Divorce Needs
When you are facing a divorce, you have enough on your mind. Your legal counsel should be part of the solution and give you the personal attention and tailored representation that you need to get through a difficult time. As a DuPage County divorce attorney, I am focused on providing personalized service to my clients, who appreciate the dedicated and solution-oriented representation I provide. I will work closely with you throughout the process, not my assistants or paralegal.
Starting the Divorce Process
As an Oakbrook Terrace family law lawyer, I have extensive experience helping people begin the marriage dissolution process. There a few essential first steps that must be taken, including:
- Initial assessment — When you work with me, I provide a free initial consultation. We will assess your goals and discuss the best approach for resolving your situation as quickly and equitably as possible.
- Filing — Once the decision to divorce is made, one party files a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage with the court.
- Summons — The non-filing party receives a summons and has 30 days to file a response. This starts the divorce process.
Resolving the Issues With Quick, Equitable Settlements
Once the process has begun, we work to reach agreement on all the relevant issues surrounding the end of a marriage, including:
I have seen how courtroom battles tear families apart. That is why I work at finding solutions to these issues quickly, so they are settled before you even get to court to finalize the divorce.
My approach can save you the time and expense of ongoing litigation. It also reduces the strain between you and your ex-spouse, which is important because you will need to function as co-parents to your children after the divorce. Avoiding the trial process is also simply better for the kids — they do not need to see their parents fighting over the future. From my Oakbrook Terrace law office, I provide a safe, comfortable setting in which we can discuss your case.
Dedicated to Helping Veterans and Service Members
As an Army veteran, I understand the unique issues that confront military families in divorce. I have the skill and experience to help you with the division of military benefits and can guide you through the sometimes complicated issues surrounding child custody and visitation when a parent is deployed. You can trust in my knowledge of the issues to help guide you through a difficult time.
