Nothing too big or small
Divorce services for every situation
Uncontested divorce
If you and your spouse already agree on key issues, an experienced attorney can help ensure your paperwork is completed correctly and your divorce is finalized as smoothly as possible.
Get started
Filing for divorce
Whether you're filing for an uncontested divorce or dealing with more complex issues, an experienced divorce attorney can help you understand your options and take the next step with confidence.
Get started
Parental responsibilities and parenting time
Whether you're creating a parenting plan or working out how decision-making and time are allocated, legal guidance can help you protect your relationship with your children and reach a workable arrangement.
Get started
Maintenance
Maintenance, Illinois's term for spousal support, can be one of the most complex issues in a divorce. An experienced attorney can help you understand your rights and what to expect.
Get started
Divorce settlements
Many divorces are resolved through negotiated settlement agreements rather than a trial. An experienced attorney can help you evaluate proposals and work toward a resolution that protects your interests.
Get started
Contested divorce
If you and your spouse disagree on parental responsibilities, finances, or dividing assets, the right legal support can make all the difference in moving your case forward with confidence.
Get started
Child support
Child support can have a real impact on both parents' futures. Understanding how support is calculated and what factors courts consider can help you make informed decisions.
Get started
Property and asset division
Illinois divides marital property in “just proportions,” which doesn't mean an automatic 50/50 split. Legal guidance can help you understand what counts as marital versus separate property and work toward a fair outcome.
Get started
Responding to divorce papers
Understanding your rights and responsibilities early can help you avoid costly mistakes. Work with a divorce attorney to evaluate your options and develop a strategy for moving forward.

Divorcing in Illinois is different
Illinois has a few rules that surprise people, from how property gets divided to what counts as a legal marriage. Here's what matters most before you file.
01
A long separation can simplify your no-fault filing
Illinois is a pure no-fault state, with irreconcilable differences as the only ground. If a couple has lived apart long enough, the law presumes that requirement is automatically met.
04
You may have property rights even in an invalid marriage
If a marriage turns out to be invalid but one spouse genuinely believed in good faith that it was real, Illinois law still gives that spouse a claim to property under the state's “putative spouse” doctrine.
02
Property is split in “just proportions,” not necessarily equally
Illinois divides marital property in “just proportions,” which doesn't mean a 50/50 split.
05
Even a shared pet counts as property here
Illinois treats a companion animal as a marital asset, but requires courts to consider the animal's well-being when deciding who keeps it.
03
Hiding or wasting shared assets can hurt you at divorce
When dividing property, Illinois courts specifically weigh whether either spouse wasted or hid marital assets, on top of the usual factors like contribution and duration of the marriage.
06
What most people call “annulment” has a different legal name here
What's commonly called an “annulment” is legally called a “Declaration of Invalidity of Marriage” in Illinois.

Your questions, answered
We offer flat-fee pricing by service, so you know the total cost upfront without worrying about hourly rates or hidden charges.
Uncontested divorces can be finalized in a few months. Contested cases vary but may take longer depending on complexity and court schedules.
Either you or your spouse must have lived in Illinois for at least 90 days before filing.
Illinois is an equitable distribution state, meaning assets are divided fairly, not necessarily equally.
Courts look at the length of the marriage, each spouse’s income, and their future earning potential when awarding spousal maintenance.
Yes, but working with a lawyer helps ensure your rights are protected, especially when custody, support, or assets are at stake.
You’ll need tax returns, pay stubs, bank and credit statements, asset valuations, and a complete inventory of debts and liabilities.
Mediation is often required for parenting issues in contested divorces, and it may be encouraged in other areas depending on the court.
