Illinois Divorce Litigation Process

Finding yourself in the middle of the divorce litigation process is one of life’s most stressful experiences. It can leave you feeling confused and afraid about the best way to handle the situation to protect yourself, your children and your future. You may be worried your divorce will end up in a heated court battle or that the litigation process will be similar to the courtroom dramas you see on TV or in movies. That is rarely the case.

In fact, litigation in divorce is considered to be the last resort to resolving disputes. When divorcing in Illinois, couples are mandated to attend mediation before their case can be settled by the family court.

At Anderson Boback & Marshall solve most Chicago divorce cases through the effective dispute resolution methods of divorce mediation and collaborative divorce. We know how important it is to solve issues quickly without the added costs of going to trial.

Nicole
Laura Darby at Anderson Boback & Marshall is an exceptional family law attorney who truly cares about her clients. From the very beginning, she was friendly, compassionate, and incredibly thorough in handling my case. She always took the time to fully answer all of my questions and kept communication open every step of the way, which made a very stressful situation so much easier to navigate. What really sets Laura apart is how skilled and confident she is in court. She knows exactly what to say and responds quickly and effectively under pressure. It was clear that she is highly knowledgeable and experienced, and I always felt like I was in the best possible hands. I highly recommend Laura Darby and the entire team at Anderson Boback & Marshall. If you are looking for a family law attorney and law firm that are caring, professional, communicative, and truly dedicated to their clients, you will be in excellent hands with them.
Response from the owner:It has been an honor and privilege to represent you! Thank you so much for your kind words.
Natalie E.
I had, what I believed at the time, a simple divorce case that I initially filed on my own. My now ex husband made the case impossibly drawn out, utterly nonsensical, and frustrating. I hired Laura Darby from Anderson Boback & Marshall to represent me because I was exhausted of going in circles trying to get answers from my ex and his attorney. Laura was supportive, experienced, and very responsive with respect to resolving the matter. She jumped into the case and then consistently stayed on top of it to keep it moving along in the court system. I appreciated her insight and the fact that she listened to my concerns and offered reasonable suggestions on how best to proceed. She also kept the cost of services fair and reasonable for someone without a ton of disposable income. Thanks to Laura's efforts the case has finally wrapped up and I'm grateful to be done with it and free. Overall, a fantastic attorney that knows the legal system and does everything in her power to represent your interests.
Response from the owner:It was an absolute joy bringing your matter to a resolution for you! Thank you so much for your kindness and allowing us to advocate for you!
Parth P.
From the moment I had my initial consultation with one of the attorneys on staff, I could tell that I was in good hands. They took the time to understand not only the logistical details of situation, but also the emotional turmoil of going through a divorce process. Their communication throughout was excellent, they seamlessly performed all the necessary work via email and phone calls, and when a tricky situation came up in the 11th hour they navigated it effectively and presented me with options on how we could proceed. Thank you so much!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Parth for your kind words. Our team is honored to serve you and we are thrilled that you are happy with our representation.
Elizabeth Bailey
I really appreciated Laura’s help on my case. She was professional, empathetic, knowledgeable, and very quick to respond. She made an unfortunate situation much more tolerable with her ability to move my case along quickly and easily. Highly recommend.
Audrey Tabon
I’ve been working with Anderson and Boback since 2019 due to the unfortunate complexities of my case. It’s been exhausting and expensive but having this group of powerful attorneys has been pivotal in the success of my case.
Timothy Host
Attorney Jessica's exceptional assistance and success in securing a proper visitation agreement and reuniting me with my daughter surpassed my expectations. Her prompt correspondence and attention to detail were remarkable, ensuring efficient communication and leaving no aspect of my case overlooked.
Paul Cavill
Laura was my assigned Attorney and she was very professional and did an excellent job. Great advice and did everything as quickly and easily as possible. I couldn't of gone through the unfortunate process I had to and got the outcome I did without her. Highly recommend.
Dan Strickland
Words cannot express the gratitude I have for Jessica Marshall and her team. As a father who was no longer present in the USA, I was facing a monumental task to get access to my daughter in the face of extreme hostility. She made the impossible happen, and I’ll forever be in her debt.
Kelly Olsen
We never go into a marriage thinking I have a great divorce attorney if this doesn’t work out. However, Laura Darby is the attorney you want in your back pocket if you do have to go through a divorce! Laura is extremely knowledgeable, caring, and will advocate for her clients. She will provide realistic, clear, and yet supportive guidance to her clients.
Karen Mae
If you’re looking for a smart, reliable divorce attorney, look no further. I was able to collect many years of back support with the assistance of this office. Jessica Marshall really knows what she is doing and I felt that my outcome was fair. You really do get what you pay for.
Rob Backeberg
My experience with Anderson & Boback was nothing short of professional, efficient and caring. My lawyer, Jessica Marshall, provided a strong sense of guidance, reassurance and a human touch during a very difficult and complicated legal process. Highly recommend Jessica and her team.
Raza K.
Jessica is a dedicated, intelligent and a skillful attorney. Her arguments are skillfully articulated. She helped me in getting my divorce finalized in 2018. She then helped in getting the past due child support from my X-spouse and then recently in getting the maintenance alimony payments settled. I would highly recommend their services.
Joanna Kieplin
Jessica C. Marshall , partner at Anderson & Bobak is one of the best attorneys I had a pleasure to work with! I wish I had found her sooner in my divorce process. I had a post decree military pension issue and it was resolved quickly, efficiently and effectively. I didn’t even have to go to court or interact with my ex- spouse. The billing was also very straightforward and honest. Highly recommended attorney!
