Chicago Parenting Time Attorney

Chicago Parenting Time Attorney

At WARD FAMILY LAW, LLC, we understand that few matters in life are as important as the time you spend with your children. Navigating parenting time arrangements can be challenging, emotionally taxing, and legally complex. For nearly two decades, our firm has been dedicated to helping families in Chicago resolve parenting time disputes in a manner that prioritizes the best interests of the children while safeguarding our clients’ rights.

Experience in Parenting Time Matters

Parenting time issues often arise when parents separate or divorce. Illinois law recognizes the allocation of parental responsibilities, which includes both decision-making authority and parenting time. Parenting time refers to the actual time a parent spends with their child, fulfilling caretaking duties. We are well-versed in the nuances of Illinois family law, and we ensure that our clients receive fair and sustainable parenting time arrangements.

Our attorneys are adept at handling the key factors courts consider when assessing parenting time, such as the child’s needs, each parent’s relationship and history with the child, and each parent’s ability to encourage a positive relationship with the other parent. Whether you are working to establish an initial parenting time agreement or seeking to modify an existing one due to changes in circumstances, we provide the guidance and representation you need.

Our clients benefit from personalized solutions tailored to meet their unique family dynamics.

Whether you are a parent seeking more time with your child or facing a parenting time dispute, we work with you to develop a comprehensive strategy based on your specific goals.

Our services include:

• Mediation – Through mediation, we provide a neutral environment where parents can work together to create parenting plans that reflect the best interests of their child. Mediation can help minimize conflict and foster cooperation, which is particularly beneficial for ongoing parenting relationships.
