What is the cost of retaining a divorce lawyer?

Ultimately, the cost depends on how much time the attorney and support staff spend working on your case. This can vary based on how complex the issues are, what you need as a client, and what it takes to reach a resolution. In most cases, clients are billed based on hourly rates, and we provide detailed statements that clearly outline the work performed and the related charges.
Will I have custody of my child after the divorce?
Each couple must reach a resolution regarding their respective responsibilities as parents as well as visiting rights following a divorce. That is why it is important to partner with an attorney who brings an updated understanding of how child custody laws may apply to your situation. We will help you with your custody agreement and make sure it is in your child’s best interests. Read more about parenting rights and responsibilities in Illinois here.
Should I get a prenuptial agreement?
Getting a prenuptial agreement before getting married – or a postnuptial agreement if you’re already married – can certainly be beneficial for some couples. While the decision is entirely up to you and your partner, we can provide a professional, neutral perspective to help you feel confident with your decision. Find out more about both types of agreements here.
Can you help with an alternative dispute resolution in my divorce?
The path to divorce has gotten easier for a variety of reasons, and many couples choose to avoid litigation. We can discuss different potential approaches to divorce to determine whether an alternative dispute resolution such as arbitration is appropriate in your case.
How should I get started?
The best way to get started is by having a conversation with a legal expert. Because matrimonial law is so complex, an attorney can help you develop a better understanding of the process that lies ahead. Our office is happy to hear from people regardless of whether they have filed for divorce.
