WARD FAMILY LAW, LLC offers a full spectrum of family law services designed to address the unique aspects of each case. We are here to guide you step by step, helping you make informed decisions during this difficult time. Our key areas of focus include the following:
For couples seeking to avoid litigation though their established settlement terms, our mediation services provide a structured and respectful environment for resolving disputes. Mediation empowers both parties to reach fair and practical agreements, fostering cooperation and minimizing conflict. Â
Spousal support, also known as alimony or maintenance in Illinois, is often a significant concern in divorce cases. Illinois courts use specific guidelines and factors, like the length of the marriage and income of both parties, to determine eligibility and amounts. Our team will advocate on your behalf to ensure fair arrangements that reflect your circumstances. Â
Equitably dividing marital property is one of the most complex aspects of any divorce. Whether it involves real estate, retirement accounts, or debts, Illinois applies an “equitable distribution” approach rather than a simple 50/50 split. We skillfully handle every detail, accounting for prenuptial agreements, contributions made during the marriage, and long-term financial impacts, ensuring a fair allocation that protects your future. Â
At WARD FAMILY LAW, LLC, we are more than attorneys – we are trusted allies for those navigating uncertain times. Our firm prioritizes reducing the emotional toll of divorce, particularly when children are involved. For example, we ensure that decisions around parenting time and the allocation of parental responsibilities center on children’s best interests. We work tirelessly to craft agreements that honor those interests while respecting your parental rights. Â
Being rooted in Chicago means we have an intimate understanding of the South Loop community and the unique needs of residents in the 60605 area. Illinois divorce law can be complex, but you can rely on our firm’s extensive legal knowledge to ensure compliance and favorable outcomes. Â
