DuPage County Divorce Lawyer

Attorney Providing Affordable Divorce Services in Naperville, Sugar Grove, and Yorkville

Arguments over finances can put stress on any marriage, but they can be especially difficult for lower-income couples to weather. When a couple decides to divorce, whether due to financial differences or any other reason, it may be scary for both spouses to consider what their futures will look like after their assets are divided and they each start over independently. The prospect of hiring a divorce attorney and incurring expensive legal fees may only add to this fear.

If you need an attorney for your divorce or other family law matter, we offer counsel and representation at reduced rates based on your income. We can help you navigate the challenging aspects of your divorce and leave you on steady footing as you prepare to face your life after divorce.

Divorce Services From an Affordable DuPage County Attorney

During the divorce process, you will need to make many important decisions that will affect your future. We can advise you on matters including:

• Division of assets: In Illinois, with few exceptions, all assets acquired during a marriage, including homes, cars, bank accounts, and retirement savings, are considered marital property even if they are only listed in one spouse's name. In a divorce, the court requires this property to be distributed fairly between both spouses, but this does not necessarily mean an equal 50/50 split. This is why it is so important to have the help of an experienced divorce lawyer to work toward a division that protects your interests and your future.
• Division of debts: Debts acquired during a marriage are also often subject to division upon divorce, and without the assistance of an experienced attorney, you may be saddled with difficult obligations or stuck in a complicated situation with creditors because of your spouse's poor financial management. We can help you ensure that the debt allocation is fair and possibly work to eliminate some debts before the divorce is finalized.
• Spousal support: In some Illinois divorces, especially those in which there is a financial imbalance between spouses, the court may order spousal support payments, also known as alimony or maintenance. We can help you make a case for alimony based on your income, education, earning potential, health needs, and contributions to the marriage, among other factors.
• Health insurance: During your marriage, you may have relied on your spouse's employer for health insurance coverage. As you prepare for your divorce, we can help you account for your healthcare needs in your negotiations and counsel you on affordable health insurance options after your divorce.
• Child-related issues: If you and your spouse have children, you will also need to consider their needs in your divorce agreement. We can help you address child-related issues including custody, parenting time, and child support to make sure your family is provided for long after your divorce is finalized.

Keep in mind that if you and your spouse are able and willing to cooperate on some or all of the decision-making surrounding your divorce, we may be able to help you reach a settlement agreement and save on court costs associated with a lengthy trial. However, if a trial is necessary, you can rely on our affordable services as we present a strong case for you in court. We can also assist with modifications after your divorce if a change in your income or financial situation makes it difficult for you to uphold the terms of the agreement.
