Uncontested Divorce Lawyer in Illinois

What should you do if you and your spouse have agreed upon the terms of your divorce? Have you agreed on:

• How the assets will be divided (including real estate, bank accounts, pensions, and other retirement accounts);
• Payment of maintenance (alimony), child support, and other child-related expenses; and
• A parenting schedule, holiday schedule, and joint decision making for the children on matters such as health, education, religion, or extracurricular activities?

It still may be in your best interest and the best interest of your children to consult with an experienced divorce attorney experienced in all aspects of family law. Even if you and your spouse have the basic outline of an agreement, a well-drafted Marital Settlement Agreement is essential to properly protect all of your financial interests and to make sure all bases are covered.  If you have minor children, a well-drafted Allocation Judgment and Parenting Plan (formerly called a Custody Judgment or Joint Parenting Agreement) is even more essential to ensure the long-term wellbeing of your children.

Contact the attorneys at SLG Family Law for a free initial consultation to go over the outline of your agreement and assess and discuss its long-term ramifications for your financial future and your future as a parent. Our attorneys can draft Judgments for Dissolution of Marriage that incorporate agreements that will be acceptable to the court and will not expose you to unforeseen problems down the road.
