Because you and your children’s legal rights are paramount, seeking the legal guidance of an experienced family law attorney in Naperville is always in the best interest of your family law case.
While family law is a sweeping area of the law, some of the most common categories of family law issues include the following:

While prenups and postnups cannot address matters related to child custody or child support (unless the terms exceed court-ordered child support), these legal contracts can spell out how your marital assets will be divided and/or how alimony will be determined in the event of a divorce.
