Representing Your Interests in Illinois Divorce-Related Matters

Whether you are going through an uncontested divorce in which you and the other party are on amicable terms or a more contested case in which there are bitter feelings and strong disagreements, our Chicagoland divorce attorneys provide legal guidance you can depend on. At Haid & Teich, LLP, our extensive experience in these matters and our skill in applying the Illinois statutes to your case help to ensure the best possible outcome in these proceedings.

Under the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, there are important issues which must be resolved before your divorce can become final. We can help ensure your rights and interests are protected in regards to the following:

• Marital Property Division: In Illinois, property is divided on an equitable, not even basis. Factors in determining how property and assets are distributed include the length of the marriage, the earnings or potential earnings of each party, and their contributions towards accumulating and increasing the value of these assets.
• Spousal Support and Alimony: Factors that make spousal support and alimony more likely in your case include when one spouse has significantly more earnings or assets that the other or when one has given up his or her education or career in support of the other.
• Child Time Sharing and Child Support: Issues involving children are among the most hotly contested in divorce proceedings. Under the Illinois Statutes (750 ILCS 5/602), the court is in favor of allocating parental responsibilities through parenting plans and time sharing arrangements, which will influence your child support order.

Protecting Your Rights During Divorce

Additional issues which often arise in Illinois divorce cases include the existence of any pre- or postnuptial agreements and enforcing or modifying existing orders. In all of these areas, our experienced legal team at Haid &  Teich, LLP can help to ensure you are protected.
