In Illinois, parental responsibility involves decision-making authority over areas like healthcare, education, extracurricular activities, and religion. These decisions may be shared by both parents or allocated primarily to one parent, depending on the best interests of the child. Courts typically examine each family’s unique circumstances before determining how responsibility should be allocated. If you have questions about establishing or modifying parental responsibilities, let us guide you through the process. Reach out today for knowledgeable support.

Division of marital property in Illinois considers various factors such as the length of the marriage, each spouse’s contributions to the acquisition of property, each party’s contributions as a homemaker or to the family unit, the value of assets assigned to each spouse, and each party’s future financial prospects. The goal is a fair, though not always equal, distribution of property. Non-marital property, such as inheritances or gifts, are usually excluded from division. If you are concerned about how your assets may be divided in a divorce, consult with our office for practical advice and effective representation.

Child support in Illinois is calculated based on both parents’ incomes and the number of children, as well as other factors like parenting time and certain expenses. The person paying support is called the obligor, and the person receiving it is the obligee. Courts strive to ensure that children’s needs are met after a family separation. If you have questions about child support calculations or enforcement, contact us to get the clarity and support you need.
