Bolingbrook Property Division Attorney

While there are many issues that must be considered during a divorce, they generally fall into one of two categories: financial matters and child-related concerns. Financial matters include the division of marital property and spousal maintenance—sometimes known as alimony.

Dividing marital property is often among the most contested elements of a divorce, especially when a couple has been married for a long time. Illinois is an equitable distribution state, which means that marital property must be divided fairly between divorcing spouses and not necessarily equally. While this sounds simple enough, "fairness" is subjective. You and your spouse may have drastically different ideas of what constitutes a fair division of your assets. At The Foray Firm, we will work with you in identifying, evaluating, and dividing your marital property so that you are well equipped for your new post-divorce life.

Our team also assists clients regarding maintenance or spousal support. Maintenance is only ordered in cases where the court identifies an actual need or the divorcing spouses have agreed on the issue. A variety of factors can influence the court's decision, including the length of the marriage, each spouse's income, and the couple's standard of living. We represent those seeking maintenance as well as those who have been asked to make support payments so that their rights are protected.

Child-Related Divorce Considerations

Divorce can be particularly hard for spouses who have children together. The experienced team at The Foray Firm understands that it is important for both parents to play an active role in the lives of their children, and we are equipped to help you do just that. Our lawyers can assist with creating parenting plans, allocating parental responsibilities (child custody), developing parenting time schedules (visitation), negotiating child support orders and much more. We also provide guidance with the modification or enforcement of such orders after your divorce is finalized.
