Orland Park, IL Family Lawyers
Trusted Lawyers Helping Black Families with Divorce, Child Custody, and More in Orland Park, Illinois
At The Foray Hurst Firm, we know that divorce, child custody, and other legal concerns that affect families can have a dramatic impact on everyone involved. Every day, families of all types throughout the Chicago area must navigate complicated legal concerns that affect the lives of parents, children, grandparents, and many others. If you are dealing with a family law matter, our experienced team is ready to help you.
As members of the Black community, we understand the issues that families often face as they address legal issues. Many Black people choose to remain unmarried, which means that a couple may encounter difficulties when they decide to break up. A person may have multiple children with different partners, which can make matters related to child custody and financial support more complicated. With our help, families can address these concerns, take steps to protect the best interests of children, and put orders in place that will meet their ongoing needs.
Family Law Issues That May Affect the Black Community
With more than 30 years of combined legal experience, the attorneys at The Foray Hurst Firm can help families address and resolve the many legal issues that they may encounter. We provide our clients with effective legal representation, working to help them resolve disputes and find solutions that will allow for their families' ongoing success. We can help address issues related to:
- Child Custody Disputes in Black Families: Many cases involve complex family dynamics in which children may live with one parent most of the time, but different children may spend time with different parents or extended family members at other times. We work with clients to resolve disputes related to child custody in ways that will promote positive family relationships.
- Parental Relocation: There are many reasons why a parent may choose to move to a new location within the Chicago area, elsewhere in Illinois, or in a different state. Our lawyers can make sure the right legal procedures are followed in these cases, and we will work to ensure that the necessary modifications can be made to child custody orders.
- Child Support Enforcement: When a parent is not paying child support as required, we can work to ensure that they will meet their legal obligations. Our goal is to ensure that the best interests of children will be protected.
- Black Single Mothers: Many Black women raise children on their own, and when doing so, they may need to address a variety of legal concerns. We can help mothers establish and enforce child custody and child support orders while working to ensure that they will be able to provide the care their children need.
- Black Fathers' Rights: Black men may be concerned about whether they will be able to be a reliable, supportive presence in their children's lives. We work with fathers to ensure that the proper child custody orders will be put in place so that they can protect their parental rights and provide for their children's needs.
- Paternity: Our team represents mothers who are seeking to establish paternity of their children and receive the necessary child support. We also help fathers who are looking to obtain parental rights and responsibilities.
- Domestic Violence: Physical abuse and other forms of family violence can put spouses, children, or other family members at risk. We help abuse victims seek safety and obtain orders of protection. Our team also provides guidance to those who have been falsely accused of abusive behavior.
- Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements: Couples who are planning to get married or who are already married may use these legal agreements to establish each spouse's rights regarding assets, debts, spousal support, and more. We work to help couples put effective agreements in place.
- Adoption: Growing your family through adoption can be a positive step, but it may involve complex legal concerns. Skilled guidance from our knowledgeable attorneys can help ensure that you will be able to complete the adoption process successfully. We assist with domestic, private, and related adoptions, including stepparent and grandparent adoptions.
- LGBTQ+ Family Concerns: At our firm, we are sensitive to the needs of same-sex couples and LGBTQ+ families. We offer guidance on divorce and child custody matters, parentage disputes, and much more.
