Cook County Child Support Attorneys
In many divorce proceedings, issues surrounding child custody, child support and spousal support are among the most difficult to resolve. Reaching agreement on where the children will live and who takes responsibility for certain financial obligations can be a daunting task.
At the law firm of K & R Family Legal Services, L.L.P., you can count on our lawyers to employ the full breadth of our experience in these matters to secure positive results on your behalf. We passionately and tirelessly pursue innovative solutions, with a constant focus on ensuring that you and your children are in the best possible position as you move forward.
Child Custody
Our Northbrook child custody attorneys help divorcing couples reach agreement on parenting plans that serve the best interests of their children without excluding the rights of either parent. In Cook and Lake Counties, the court requires mediation in custody and visitation issues. When agreements cannot be reached, we can help you prepare for mediation. If necessary, we are prepared to take your case to court to protect your interests.
Child Support
Many people wrongly assume that Illinois' child support guidelines look only at each parent's income and the number of children needing support. We closely examine expenses for child care, health care, school tuition, extracurricular activities and other needs to reach the most favorable financial arrangement for our clients. In addition, we work to secure a clear financial picture from the start.
Spousal Maintenance
In divorces involving one spouse who was the primary wage earner, the other spouse may have a claim for spousal maintenance, also known as spousal support or alimony. We understand the factors the court considers in making these decisions. Whether you are the spouse seeking maintenance or the spouse defending against a maintenance request, we will present the most compelling argument possible to support your position.
