What to Expect When Working with a Family Law Attorney in Chicago?

When working with an experienced family law attorney, you can expect a well-organized legal process. Here’s what happens:

1. Initial Consultation: We begin by understanding your situation and providing tailored legal advice on your best options.

2. Filing and Documents: Key documents like petitions for custody or support are drafted and filed, officially starting the process in the Court system.

3. Discovery Process: Both parties exchange important documents, like financial records, to prepare the case. You may need to answer questions or provide testimony during this stage.

4.  Negotiations and Settlements: In Illinois, around 95% of family law cases settle before trial. We work hard to reach a fair settlement that protects your rights and interests. Once agreed upon, the settlement is submitted to the court for approval.

5. Pre-Trial Conference: If a settlement isn’t reached, a judge may offer suggestions at a pre-trial conference to help resolve any issues that may remain unresolved following negotiations.

6. Trial: If the case goes to trial, we’ll represent you in court, presenting evidence and advocating for your position. The judge will make the final decision.

7. Final Orders: After a settlement is reached or a trial is completed, the court will issue legally binding orders regarding matters like custody, support, and property division, which must be followed by both parties.

Throughout the entire process, we provide clear communication, strategic guidance, and personal support, ensuring you’re informed and empowered at every step. We understand that although we operate in this field each day, this is likely the only time our clients experience the family law court system. With that understanding, we make sure to be present for any questions and to explain the process and purpose for what is happening in your case.
