Bring every account into the open with financial disclosure & discovery. Our team fights on your behalf to get you fair maintenance, support, and parenting time.
Confidential. You speak with a licensed attorney, not an intake team.
Both spouses must exchange financial information. In contested cases that can include subpoenas, depositions and formal requests.
If marital money is being moved or spent, courts can issue temporary restraining orders to preserve assets.
Illinois weighs a career set aside for domestic duties when deciding maintenance, and courts look at child care responsibilities before expecting a stay-at-home parent to work.
These Illinois rules protect a spouse who doesn't control the money.
Marital property generally includes assets and debts acquired during the marriage, regardless of whose name is on the account or title.
A court can order your spouse to contribute to your attorney's fees, including interim fees while the case is pending.
Generally, when combined gross income is under $500,000 and the payor has no prior support obligation, guideline maintenance is 33⅓% of the payor's net income minus 25% of the recipient's, limited so the recipient's income plus maintenance doesn't exceed 40% of combined net income.
Illinois decides maintenance without regard to marital misconduct, looking instead at income, needs, earning capacity and the marriage's length.
