Divorce is one of life’s most significant transitions, and it often comes with profound emotional and practical challenges. For individuals in the 60606 area considering divorce, feelings of anxiety and uncertainty about the future are common. Questions about dividing assets and debt, navigating the allocation of parental responsibilities and parenting time, and managing emotional stress may feel overwhelming. At WARD FAMILY LAW, LLC, we recognize the significance of your concerns and are dedicated to offering empathetic legal support at every step of your journey.
Dividing marital property is one of the most complex aspects of divorce. Determining what belongs to each party, what qualifies as marital versus non-marital property, and how debts are allocated can quickly become contentious. Illinois follows “equitable distribution,” meaning property isn’t necessarily divided 50/50 but instead based on what’s fair under the circumstances. Our team at WARD FAMILY LAW, LLC has extensive experience ensuring that all assets—including real estate, investments, business interests, and retirement accounts—are carefully evaluated and fairly allocated.
For families with children, deciding how parenting time and decision-making will be shared often takes center stage. Illinois courts prioritize the best interests of the child, which can sometimes lead to disagreements between parents. At WARD FAMILY LAW, LLC, we are adept at helping parents create cooperative, sustainable parenting plans that reduce conflict and protect the well-being of your children.
