The Decisions You Must Make in Your Glen Ellyn, Illinois Divorce

While going through the dissolution of your marriage, you will need to make multiple decisions about the terms of your separation. Many of these choices can cause disputes, such as:

High-conflict divorces can make it almost impossible to find common ground and reach mutually agreeable terms. However, there are several advantages to settling your divorce without litigation.

Finding Effective Solutions to Your Disputes in Glen Ellyn Divorces

Every couple's situation is different. You and your spouse may have amassed significant assets, and determining accurate values for all of your property can be challenging. One of you may have been the primary breadwinner, while the other may have been a stay-at-home parent. Older couples seeking a gray divorce have their own challenges, like retirement funding, the disapproval of their children and grandchildren, and dividing a lifetime's accumulation of belongings. Younger parents need to make the best choices for their children's welfare through thoughtful parenting plans and financial support. Whatever your issues, we offer divorce coaching to help you focus on your future and the steps you need to take to get there.

While taking your divorce to court is always an option, it is not necessarily the best option. We will review your goals and your situation carefully before advising you on what we believe to be the best approaches to resolving your issues. In many cases, each spouse's attorney can facilitate negotiations to reach agreements. If that is unsuitable or unsuccessful, mediation is another option. Both are often preferable to litigation, because:

  • You can retain more control over the outcome.
  • Trials usually take significantly longer than negotiations and mediation.
  • Mediation and negotiation are more cost-effective.
  • A trial is often more stressful for you and your children.
  • Bitter arguments in court can make it difficult to be effective co-parents.

Although we may recommend trying negotiation or mediation rather than litigation, do not think we are not highly capable trial lawyers. We have extensive skills and experience winning cases in Illinois courts. If that is what works best for you, we are aggressive advocates at trial.

After Your Illinois Divorce

Over time, the court orders outlining things like child custody, alimony, and child support may no longer work well. You may experience an unexpected job loss that makes it difficult to make financial support payments, or you may want to move to another city or state. Post-divorce modifications of your court orders may be possible.

Court orders are enforceable, so if your ex is violating those orders, we can help you enforce them. It is best to handle modifications and enforcement through the courts instead of trying to handle them on your own.
