Glendale Heights, IL Divorce Attorneys

Skilled Lawyers Advocating for Your Best Interests in a Glendale Heights, Illinois Divorce

Whether something happened to prompt your separation, or you and your spouse have just grown apart, deciding to get a divorce is rarely easy. You need to protect your interests and those of your children in every decision you make, but strong emotions can often cloud your judgment. You need an attorney who will learn about your goals and your specific situation, then explain your options thoroughly. You need a partner who will share your heavy burden.

Since 1997, the attorneys at The Law Offices of Robert F. Kramer, Ltd. have assisted Illinois families in making tough choices during divorce. We understand the importance of crafting solutions based on your individual needs, and we will give you the support and guidance you need to make confident choices. If your divorce is complex or involves lots of conflict, our extensive trial experience will serve you well. Throughout the divorce process, you can speak with your lawyer to address any concerns or questions you may have.

Helping You Make Tough Choices in Your Glendale Heights Divorce

Your divorce may cause total upheaval in the lives of everyone involved, including your children. Once the dust settles, the terms of your divorce decree will be your new foundation. Unwise decisions now can have long-term consequences, so you need to consider all divorce-related issues carefully. Your attorney's guidance is invaluable, because we understand the legal implications of all your options and can help you decide which way to proceed. The choices you must make may include:

• Child custody (including parenting time and the allocation of parental responsibilities)
• Spousal support
• Property division

Child support is not exactly a decision; it is a responsibility each parent has to contribute financially to the well-being of their children. The Illinois income-sharing model is used to determine whether one parent will need to pay child support to the other and the amount of the payments. Although that may seem straightforward, some parents may object to paying child support. One parent may also attempt to use their children to manipulate the other. Your attorney will ensure that the provisions made for your children in your parenting plan will address their individual needs and serve their best interests.

No Two Paths to Glendale Heights, Illinois Divorces Are the Same

While you will need to make similar decisions as other divorcing couples, their children do not have the same needs as yours, your personalities are not the same as theirs, and your assets and debts are different, as well. An attorney whose approach to handling divorce cases does not reflect your individual situation may cause more problems rather than helping you find workable solutions. The Law Offices of Robert F. Kramer, Ltd. will never try to force you to conform to a set structure for our convenience. Instead, we will work with you to plan the most effective ways to accomplish your goals.

Illinois Post-Decree Modifications

The various agreements made at the time of your divorce were made using current information. Once the judge signed your divorce decree, those arrangements became enforceable court orders that both parties are obligated to follow. Your ex may not have followed through with property division agreements, or they may have failed to make their mandatory child support or spousal support payments. We can help you approach the court to request enforcement of your court orders.

Similarly, you may have lost your job, or you may want to move to another state. Based on these changes in your life, you may need to update the terms of your divorce. Violating court orders can lead to various repercussions, even if you have an oral agreement with the other party. We can assist you with requesting modifications of your court orders through the proper channels.
