Types of Family Law Cases We Handle

Our law firm handles various family law cases, providing expert legal representation across various situations. Here's a look at some of the specific types of cases we frequently manage:

Contested and Uncontested Divorce Cases

Our firm is aware of the nuances that differentiate contested and uncontested divorces. We strive for amicable resolutions and streamlined, efficient processes for uncontested divorces. 

In contested divorces, we prepare thoroughly to defend your interests in court, tackling disputes over assets, custody, and support with unmatched diligence and strategic planning. Let us handle your divorce in Illinois.

Child Custody and Visitation Rights

Illinois law no longer uses the term child custody. Instead, when parents separate, they divide “parental responsibilities,” including parenting time and significant decision-making responsibilities. 

In matters concerning the allocation of parenting time, our paramount concern is the well-being of your children. We work tirelessly to negotiate a division of parenting time and decision-making responsibilities that reflect your children's best interests while respecting your rights and wishes as a parent. 

We are skilled at creating parenting plans that promote cooperative co-parenting and conflict reduction, and we will work to address all of your questions and concerns.

Property and Asset Division

Dividing property and assets during a divorce can be one of the most contentious issues. We employ detailed analysis and strategic negotiation to ensure an equitable division in accordance with Illinois law. We consider all facets of your property—from real estate to complex financial assets—to secure an equitable outcome that protects your financial interests.

Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements

We assist couples in prenuptial and postnuptial agreements that safeguard their interests, provide financial security, and prevent future legal disputes. We tailor these agreements to each couple's needs and circumstances, ensuring clarity and fairness in case of challenges to the marriage.

Paternity Issues

We handle paternity cases with the sensitivity and seriousness they deserve. Establishing paternity can be critical for determining parental rights, custody, and support issues. 

We assist clients in the legal process, ensuring accurate paternity establishment and appropriate rights allocation. We will also guarantee a fair and accurate determination of child support.

Modification of alimony and child support

Life changes, and so will your alimony, spousal support, and child support needs. Whether it's due to changes in financial circumstances, employment, or family size, our firm helps clients seek modifications to existing support orders. 

We ensure that adjustments are fair, justified, and reflect your current circumstances. If you have questions about modifying maintenance or child support, our firm is ready to assist you.

Handling Family Law Disputes With Mediation and Arbitration

In addition to traditional litigation, Young Family & Divorce Law Firm emphasizes the value of alternative dispute resolution methods like mediation. This approach often provides a more amicable and cost-effective solution to family law disputes.

We are experienced in working with skilled mediators to find the best resolution for our clients and their families, and we can foster an environment where mutually beneficial agreements can be reached.

Mediation can be particularly beneficial in family law cases, where preserving relationships is often as important as resolving disputes. These methods give the parties involved more control over the outcome and are less adversarial than leaving the decisions up to the court. 

Our firm is committed to exploring all avenues that protect your interests and promote the most amicable outcomes for your family.
