Palatine Divorce Lawyers

Illinois law understands that sometimes two people just aren’t compatible or that some relationships don’t work out. Knowing this, the law provides for “no-fault” divorce, which can be filed due to irreconcilable differences.

The divorce attorneys at SLG Family Law can help you navigate the complexities of divorce and make sure your position is protected on essential issues, such as the division of assets, spousal alimony, child support, custody, parental responsibilities, and more. When you’re ready to discuss divorce and your legal options, we can help you get started. Schedule a free initial consultation with an experienced Palatine divorce lawyer.

Uncontested Divorce

Many marriages end amicably without conflict between the parties. In an uncontested divorce, a great deal of the struggle and emotional toll disappears. Both parties can agree on decisions about the dissolution of marriage, child support, distribution of community property, and so on. 

Of all the divorce scenarios, an uncontested divorce is the fastest and most affordable method of separation, but you still want legal representation. We can help clients collaborate and construct a positive plan for all involved. 

Contested Divorce

Unfortunately, not all divorces end amiably and conflict-free. If your divorce is more complex, it’s a good idea to speak with one of SLG Family Law’s skilled divorce attorneys about contested divorce. We’ll discuss your goals and identify any potential obstacles to overcome, such as disagreements regarding the division of marital assets, parental rights, child support, and more.

We’ll advise you on how to best protect your future, uncover hidden assets, and make sure all income is accounted for in child support and alimony agreements. We have the experience to handle your case in mediation or litigate your case in court if necessary.

Why You Need a Palatine Divorce Lawyer

The divorce process is very often misunderstood, which can irreparably harm your future should you choose a do-it-yourself approach. Many who “go it alone” inadvertently waive important legal rights and unknowingly invite further legal issues.

Here are a few misunderstandings that are often unknown or overlooked:

• Filing for divorce does not dissolve your marriage, and if you marry again, that marriage can even be voided by a court.
• Child custody and visitation are not rewarded based on who is the better parent or who can better provide for the child. Rather, all custody and parent visitation decisions are based on the “best interests of the child.”
• Under Illinois law, “fairness” and “equity” are the deciding factors when disturbing marital property and assets, and that does not necessarily mean both parties receive an equal share.

The compassionate divorce lawyers from SLG Family Law will work with you to understand your goals and wishes for the outcome of your divorce. We’ll work tirelessly on your behalf to make sure your interests are heard and represented in your divorce proceedings.
