SLG Family Law

When it comes to custody (now known as allocation of parental responsibilities) and visitation (now known as parenting time), the overriding focus of a judge or a guardian ad litem (an attorney who gives guidance to the court) will be what is in the best interest of your child or children. At your initial free consultation with a child custody lawyer at Suburban Law Group, your lawyer will discuss the different options on how best to establish your rights to make decisions about your child’s health care, education, religious upbringing, and extracurricular activities. You will also discuss what the best parenting schedule will look like in terms of week day parenting time, weekend parenting time, holidays, and time during spring break, winter break, and summer break. Please contact our office if you would like to set up an appointment.

How assets and debts will be divided in the event of a divorce is dependent numerous factors that are laid out in the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act. If you are bringing significant assets into the marriage, such as a house, a business, or a retirement account, it is important that you understand your financial rights and that those rights remain as protected as possible. Marriage has so many long-term effects on wealth accumulation and appreciation, that no matter your financial situation, it is always a good idea to consult with an attorney before saying “I do.” Feel free to contact Suburban Law Group at any of our offices (Orland Park, Schaumburg, Naperville, Rolling Meadows), to set up a discreet, free initial consultation to discuss whether a prenuptial agreement is needed to protect your assets and future income.

The first step you’ll want to take in initiating the divorce process is meeting with a divorce attorney. The attorneys at Suburban Law Office can meet with you to discuss your situation and outline the divorce process for you. Please call our office to schedule a free consultation. We have offices in Naperville, Rolling Meadows, Orland Park, and Schaumburg, which means we routinely file and handle cases in the counties of Cook, Dupage, Will, and Kane, as well as other surrounding counties in Illinois.

Family law encompasses a broad range of family matters, including not only divorce, but also cases involving children in which the parents were never married. Since the attorneys at Suburban Law Group focus on family law, they have experience in divorce cases. That also means that, in addition to divorce, they can take on cases in child custody, pre- and post-marital agreements, and more.
