If you are facing a divorce, you have plenty of concerns – not the least of which are your finances, and the thought of taking on the additional expense of a divorce attorney may be daunting. The truth is, however, that a divorce attorney can help you protect your primary parental and financial rights while helping you manage your legal costs. Turn to an experienced Chicago top divorce attorney for the skilled legal guidance you’re looking for – at a price that you can top with an upfront retainer and clearly outlined hourly rates.
Although divorces vary considerably, the terms of divorce that need to be resolved can include:
If you and your divorcing spouse are able to resolve any of the terms that apply to your divorce between yourselves (with any guidance you need from your respective divorce attorneys), you’ll be ahead of the game in terms of minimizing your stress and keeping your legal expenses down.Â
Your divorce attorney will help you explore your best divorce options along with ways to keep your legal costs down – without sacrificing your rights. An important part of this process is addressing the matter of your divorce priorities, which means identifying the issues that are most important to you.Â
If you assign the same degree of importance to every divorce matter, it can dilute your efforts in addition to amplifying the challenges involved, which also increases the legal expense. When you have a clear view of what is most important to you, you’ll be better prepared to focus on your priorities, which can provide you with considerable leverage in terms of negotiations. When everything is a fight, it escalates tensions and greatly increases the risk that your divorce will become contentious – and far more expensive as a result.Â
There are certain factors that tend to increase the cost of a divorce (some of which you can control and some of which you cannot), including:
By working closely with your attorney and attempting to resolve the terms of your divorce as amicably as possible – without losing sight of your financial and parental rights – you’ll be well on your way to keeping the cost of your divorce in the reasonable range.Â

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.
