Divorce & Mediation

Divorce can have lasting effects on your finances, property, and family relationships. Our firm assists with uncontested and contested divorces, mediation, collaborative divorce, settlements, petitions, decrees, and marriage dissolution proceedings. We strive for amicable resolutions through negotiation and mediation, while providing strong representation in court when litigation is necessary.

Legal Separation

For some couples, legal separation offers an alternative to divorce. A legal separation allows spouses to address issues such as child custody, support, and financial responsibilities while remaining legally married.



We help clients understand whether legal separation is appropriate for their situation and assist with negotiating and drafting separation agreements that protect their rights and interests.

Property Division

One of the most complex aspects of divorce involves dividing marital assets and debts.

Illinois follows equitable distribution principles, meaning property is divided fairly rather than necessarily equally. Our attorneys help clients identify, value, and divide assets such as:

  • Real estate
  • Retirement accounts
  • Investment portfolios
  • Business interests
  • Personal property
  • Marital debt

Our goal is to help clients secure a fair property division settlement while protecting their long-term financial future.

Spousal Maintenance (Alimony)

Spousal maintenance, commonly known as alimony, may be awarded in certain divorce cases based on factors established under Illinois law.

Whether you are seeking support or defending against an unreasonable maintenance request, we provide experienced legal guidance regarding:

  • Temporary Maintenance
  • Long-Term Maintenance
  • Maintenance Modifications
  • Enforcement of Maintenance Orders
  • Negotiated Maintenance Agreements

We work to ensure support arrangements are fair and aligned with applicable legal standards.

Grandparents' Rights

Illinois law provides certain circumstances under which grandparents may seek visitation rights or involvement in a child's life.



These matters can be highly sensitive and emotionally charged. We help grandparents understand their legal options and pursue appropriate legal remedies when necessary.
