Sanders in Chicago, we tailor our experience, skill, and service to your unique needs and circumstances to help ensure that you obtain a divorce that works for you. 

Divorce Basics

Every divorce is as unique as the couple and the circumstances involved. That said, however, there are some components that are part of many divorce cases. These include:

• Which parent will be the primary custodial parent, and which parent will have a visitation schedule?
• Who will pay child support to whom – and in what amount?  
• How will your marital property be divided?
• Will one of you pay the other spousal maintenance post-divorce, and if so, in what amount?

These cover the basic concerns that you and your divorcing spouse will need to figure out in the course of your divorce. If you can manage to agree on these essentials, you will ensure that the court won’t need to intercede and make decisions for you. You’ll also be more likely to expedite the divorce process. Unfortunately, however, finding this level of agreement isn’t always possible.  

Complicating Factors

While you naturally want to move forward with your divorce as efficiently as possible, it’s important to carefully consider all of the potential ramifications and not to rush into anything that does not protect your rights just to get divorced sooner. The fact is that there are some complicating factors that can delay the process but that are necessary to effectively address all the same.  

If, for example, either you and your spouse or one of you individually owns a business, it’s likely going to complicate your divorce because business interests can be considered to be marital property. Further, a business can make it easier for your spouse to hide or obscure assets. 

Divorces involving high assets also generally require more careful attention. Some people have multiple properties and vehicles, complex investment portfolios, costly collections, business interests, offshore accounts, and more. Dividing such marital property can be significantly more challenging, and it can also take significantly longer.
