Father Awarded Liberal Parenting Time and Reasonable Child Support

Parenting Time and Child Support Victory
Jessica C. Marshall

Partner Jessica C. Marshall recently represented a Father in a Parentage case filed before the minor child in question was even born, settling the matter for an extremely reasonable child support amount, as well as a very substantial parenting time schedule for the Father.

Mother Filed Child Support and Parentage Case Prior to Child’s Birth

Father and Mother were never married, and Father lived out of state. Mother resided in Illinois and prior to the child being born, the Mother filed a Child Support and Parentage case. After the child was born, the Father began exercising parenting time by flying to Illinois as often as he could to visit with his young child, but the parenting time schedule was not enough. Mother continued to unilaterally exercise major decisions for the minor child throughout the pendency of the case.

Father Relocates to Illinois to Be Close to His Minor Child

Father obtained new employment and relocated to Illinois approximately two (2) years into the matter pending with the court. Upon his relocation to Illinois, Anderson & Boback obtained an increase in Father’s parenting time. Then, after Father moved to Illinois and took a new job, Mother filed a Petition to relocate the minor child.

Father Awarded Joint Decision Making with Over 40-Percent Parenting Time

Despite these obstacles, Jessica was able to successfully negotiate joint decision making to be shared between Father and Mother in all major areas, as well as substantially increasing Father’s parenting time. Specifically, Father and Mother now share decision making for health care, education, childcare, religion, and extra-curricular activities. Father now has more than 40% of the parenting time with the minor child, despite Father having resided in a different state for the first two years of his child’s life.

Anderson & Boback is thrilled with this equitable and fair result for this family and is committed to fighting for the rights of all parents to spend quality and substantial time with their children.

Anderson and Boback have a professional, dedicated team who will fight for you and do everything in their power to help. They are kind, professional and kept be updated on my case. I VERY highly recommend their office. I worked with Genevieve Binnie on my latest case and she went above and beyond!

Child Relocation -  Kimberly Anderson is a great representative of both the legal community as well as the Firm of Anderson & Boback. I appreciate her attention to detail, candor, and thorough representation of the issues that we would face, as well as a clear path for how to be successful in the fight for the rights of myself and my children. Although there were many areas of concern that had to be overcome, it was quite an asset to have an experienced, professional, and level-headed firm to represent me through this difficult process.
Keith F.
Excellent - I highly recommend Kimberly Anderson. She is knowledgeable, assertive, and experienced. What impressed me most about Kim is her dedication. I was able to reach her whenever there was a problem. She always responded immediately, proposed a solution, and put me at ease. The entire legal team at Anderson & Boback is superb.
Lisa
Amazing – Mrs. Boback was great, the best decision that I have ever made. Her advice and expertise in my court case was unbelievable, she took care of all my needs and was understanding when helping me deal with a tough time. I would highly recommend her to anyone that is looking for a great lawyer.
Jake
An Excellent, Skilled Lawyer Who Will Produce Results – I cannot overstate the experience and professionalism that Jessica brings to the table. Jessica and her staff remained easily reachable over different time schedules and could be counted on to return emails and phone calls promptly. If you need quality results and resolutions-this is the lawyer and firm to hire. Their ability to research case law and draft necessary motions is what puts them above other lawyers and firms If you want the best, call Jessica.
Steve
Military Friendly – Jessica was very helpful in taking care of my cases and understood the complications related to my military career. Even when I went out of state for my job she always kept me informed and up to date. Her knowledge of the court system was advantageous in settling my cases in a short amount of time.
Rodrigo
Recommend Highly – Jan handled a complicated custody as well as financial settlement, in an efficient and effective manner. She worked well with me, along with the opposing counsel even under the most trying circumstances. Jan also clearly had the trust of the judge and was able to work through issues before and after the decree. As a fellow attorney, my standards were very high, and I was fortunate to work with Jan on a very difficult matter.
George
Impressive - Had to commend Ms. Anderson. Although I was represented by someone else in the beginning of my divorce, who I believed was experienced in complex divorce cases, as they advertised. They were not. I watched Ms. Anderson in a courtroom on another matter and called her afterward to see if she would take on my divorce case as I was unsatisfied with my attorney's representation. The Best call I ever made! I wish I had called her first, would have saved myself much aggravation, time and money.
James
Smart and Tenacious – Nichol quickly figures out what needs to be done and is great at assessing what the court needs, from a paperwork standpoint and a mental standpoint.
Natalie
Excellent Representation by a Top Professional - I hired Kim to handle a post-divorce modification. Thanks to Kim's no-nonsense approach, caring attitude, experience and dedication to her clients. The process was as swift and efficient as possible. Kim and her staff were attentive and responsive, I highly recommend her and her staff.
BC
She’s a Winner – Nichol was the calmest person in the courtroom; she was very natural and at ease. Nichol can think on her feet and communicate effectively while under pressure. Our opposing attorney was a bully and very dramatic, but Nichol never flinched. She is very compassionate, too, and I hope she never loses that.
Rita
Amazing Divorce Lawyer – Listened to my concerns. Advocated on my behalf and ultimately helped me win custody of my son. As a father it is nearly impossible to win custody. Straight forward, honest, and impeccable character. Would never want her to be opposing counsel. She’s intelligent and is very committed to her clients. I can’t say enough good things about Jessica.
Derek
Referred by friend, very glad she did – I had been through 2 previous attorneys in my case that was approaching 3 years. I left both who were dumbfounded and ill-equipped to provide effective legal strategy and forward thinking. Thank God a good friend referred me to Jan who gave me confidence, stuck to our strategy, executed a direct game plan and came out of a difficult situation with multiple victories. Definitely a must hire for you in your most difficult situations.
