If you’re staring down a divorce, it’s difficult to know how best to proceed. Every divorce follows its own unique course, involves its own unique variables, and encounters its own unique challenges. Nevertheless, one important constant among all divorces is that every client does himself or herself a favor by working closely with an experienced Chicago divorce lawyer.
When it comes to divorce, the basic terms tend to sort out into financial matters and child custody arrangements. The financial terms will guide you and your children’s financial future, and they include:
Child custody arrangements are obviously a primary concern in every marriage that involves children. Illinois addresses both legal custody (who makes the important decisions that guide the children’s lives) and residential custody (whom the children live with and when). Both forms of custody can be either joint (shared by both parents) or sole (taken on by one parent alone).Â
The outcome of your divorce will play a significant role in your future, and that’s why you need a dedicated Chicago divorce lawyer in your corner. The formidable legal team at WARD FAMILY LAW has vast experience helping clients like you obtain favorable divorce terms, so please don’t hesitate to contact us for more information today.
Love and marriage. We needed a prenup because our families made us do one just to be safe. The entire thing was smooth so we could focus on our wedding and not be too crazy with the prenup. The agreement was drafted and reviewed by each of our attorneys, we signed and we were married. Woo Hoo. Thanks again, Ward Family Law.
10/10 is my rating for Ward Family Law. Jennifer and Emily went above and beyond in my divorce case. I cannot say more praise.
I lost my job but still had to pay the child support. I was scrambling. I talked to Jennifer Ward and she explained the process and the need to quickly file to put the court on notice that my child support needed to change. She saved me so much money in the long run while I looked for a new job so that I could start paying to help my kids again. Losing my job was not in the plan but at least my kids are on track.
