My matters were handled with professionalism and genuine concern. I was kept informed of what was going on and given a list of options with all the information I needed to make a decision. So many people come to me with their focus solely on the past. But, I'm a firm believer in the saying that you cannot start the next chapter of your story if you continue to read the last one.

After parents separate, whether they are married or not, one of the most important decisions in the process is making arrangements for their child or children.
The primary concern involves deciding where the children will live primarily, and how to craft the best schedule for the parents and the children.
In 2016, major statutory amendments were enacted, which changed how "custody" and "visitation" were decided in Illinois courts.
Today, this is referred to as "parental responsibilities" and "parenting time" in child custody cases.

When parties are going through a divorce, they quickly learn the hardships that accompany one household being split into two.
In most of these situations, it may be necessary for one party to provide financial support to the other party, for either that spouse's needs and/or the support of the children.
Financial support is paid in two ways: child support and spousal maintenance (alimony).
Support issues are critical elements of any divorce settlement, and they must be crafted with care in your documents.

Adding a child to your family is always an exciting endeavor, and adopting a child is no exception.
For some families going through the adoption process, they may decide to do private adoption with a biological parent they know, versus going through an adoption agency.
Others decide to do a "related adoption" proceeding, which means they are adopting a child that is related to them.
Related Adoption occurs when at least one of the adopting parents is related to the person being adopted.
When a step-parent wants to adopt his or her spouse's biological child, this is considered "related adoption."
