Wheaton Divorce Attorney

Glen Ellyn Divorce Settlement Attorney

Many people who are considering divorce are concerned about what will happen to them financially. As a divorce lawyer with more than 30 years of family law experience in the western Chicago suburbs, I can let you know how much support you can expect from your spouse (or be obligated to pay) and how your assets and debts will likely be divided. I offer a free initial consultation to discuss your case.

Can I afford to get divorced? Will I be destitute after the process? Talk to a Wheaton divorce lawyer by calling me at 630-871-2400.

Aggressive legal representation can increase the cost of your divorce by creating conflict where it never existed. As your lawyer, I use a collaborative style that will help you protect your interests and your finances.

The Financial Impact of Divorce

I handle the following matters in contested and uncontested divorces :

• Marital property will be divided equitably. However, this doesn't necessarily mean 50-50.
• If you have children, the parent without primary physical custody will pay 20 percent of his or her net income in support for one child. This support can be modified after the divorce if the financial circumstances of either side change.
• In long-term marriages where one of the parties is financially dependent on the other, the court may order alimony or spousal maintenance during the divorce and after.

As a skilled divorce attorney, I seek the best possible outcomes for my clients. I obtain fair and enduring marital settlement agreements that protect you, your rights, your future, your finances and your children.
