Romeoville, IL Divorce Attorneys

Experienced Lawyers Guiding You Through a Romeoville, Illinois Divorce

People may advise you not to make decisions when you are influenced by strong emotions. While that is sound advice in most cases, applying it to your divorce can be challenging. Even in a divorce that is mostly amicable, uncertainty and stress can overwhelm you. However, you will have to make many very important decisions that will affect not only you, but also your children. You need to choose an attorney you can trust to place a priority on protecting your best interests.

Far too many lawyers expect their clients to conform to rigid divorce templates for their own convenience, but that approach usually causes more problems. The Law Offices of Robert F. Kramer, Ltd. will get to know you, your situation, and your goals so we can adapt our plans to meet your needs. Since 1997, our firm's focus has been to help our clients better their lives. Your lawyer will personally support and guide you at every step of your divorce.

Helping You Make Informed Decisions in Your Romeoville Divorce

Many people who choose to get divorced do not understand the full legal implications of the decisions they make, which include:

• Property division using equitable distribution, which includes all marital assets and debts
• Child custody (parental responsibilities), including physical custody, visitation (parenting time), and legal custody
• Child support, which will require both parents to support their children financially, including sharing the costs of children's education, healthcare, and childcare
• Spousal support, which could supplement a lower-earning spouse's income or allow them to maintain their accustomed standard of living

Some attorneys may not make an effort to explain complex legal issues or the advantages and disadvantages of different choices. However, if you do not understand the potential long-term consequences of your choices, you cannot make fully informed decisions. The last thing you need is to agree to your spouse's demands only to realize later that they were taking advantage of you.

We always provide thorough explanations of the legal issues involved in your divorce, and your attorney is always available to answer your questions and address your concerns. Rather than dictating what you should do, we will work with you to address your needs and guide you along your unique path toward the dissolution of your marriage.

Overcoming Potential Divorce Challenges

Most divorces will have at least a few challenges and disputes. You can count on us to help you overcome potential challenges, which could include:

• Tracking down hidden assets
• Upholding or challenging prenuptial or postnuptial agreements
• Protecting your children against your co-parent's abuse, mental health issues, or criminal activities
• Extended family members requesting custody or visitation
• Establishing or disputing paternity
• Voluntary underemployment or unemployment
• Complex property division, including appraising your business interests or real estate holdings
• Your spouse refusing to negotiate agreements

Whatever your challenges, we can help you find effective solutions to help you move forward with your divorce and your life.

Illinois Post-Decree Modifications and Enforcement

Child support and custody, property division, spousal support, and other terms of your separation become court orders when your divorce is finalized. Some people do not or cannot uphold these orders as life changes. If that happens to you, you may be tempted to make an informal arrangement with your ex to adjust these orders. That could be a costly mistake.

Informal agreements may not serve your best interests or those of your children. Because you would technically be violating a court order, you could face penalties. Let us help you with enforcing or modifying your existing court orders to reflect your new circumstances.
