Divorce Counsel in Carpentersville, Illinois

The vast majority of the laws that address the process of divorce in Illinois are contained in the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act (750 ILCS 5). These statutes are regularly updated by state lawmakers in an effort to keep up with the continually evolving needs of Illinois families. Unfortunately, the constant changes can make it nearly impossible for the average person to remain up-to-date with the various laws that may apply to his or her divorce. When you choose our firm, you get a team of professionals who are intimately familiar with the state's laws regarding divorce, including all of the most recent changes. Every day, we put our knowledge to work for our clients, and we are ready to do the same for you and your family.

The lawyers at Goostree Law Group are adept at handling proceedings related to:

• Dividing your marital assets and debts, including the family home, retirement savings, and business interests;
• Spousal support, also known as alimony or spousal maintenance;
• The allocation of parental responsibilities (child custody);
• Parenting time (visitation schedules); and
• Child support, including support for disabled adult children and college expenses.

Our lawyers understand that in most cases, negotiating an amicable settlement in an uncontested divorce is preferable to contentious litigation. To that end, we use dispute resolution methods such as direct negotiation and mediation to facilitate agreements between divorcing spouses. If a settlement is not possible in your situation, we have the courtroom experience to take your case to trial as well.

Family-Focused Lawyers in Carpentersville

At Goostree Law Group, we know that there is nothing more important than family. We also understand the impact that a divorce can have on not just the divorcing couple and their children, but also on their extended family members as well. Due to cultural norms, religious customs, and other factors, a bitter, drawn-out divorce can create divisions between family members such as grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins that could last for many years.

With this in mind, our attorneys will take the time to get to know you and to understand your values and goals for the divorce process. This will allow us to develop and negotiate a divorce settlement that meets your needs and addresses your family-related concerns.
