Helping Individuals in Chicago Resolve Disputes that Arise in the Family Law Context

Family law is a practice area that deals with issues and disputes that can arise from time to time in the domestic context. While many of these issues may be worked out among the parties themselves, at other times, the court must be called upon to resolve disagreements regarding divorce, child custody, spousal and child support, and property distribution.

You should keep in mind that when a court must step in to resolve family law matters, the outcome is not always acceptable to one – or even both – of the spouses. Consequently, agreements between the spouses on various disputed issues are often preferable to letting the court decide.

If you are beginning divorce or separation proceedings, or you face a legal issue involving your child, the skilled attorneys at the Law Offices of George M. Sanders, P.C. can help you each step of the way. Our knowledgeable legal team understands the complexities associated with these areas of the law and can assist you with streamlining the overall process and resolving disputes.

Handling Many Family Law Cases

Family law involves many different areas, including all of the following and more:

• Divorce — Various factors can lead to a divorce between spouses, including abuse, financial issues, and just growing apart. A lawyer can ensure that all required time periods are met, that the spouses have met all of the necessary prerequisites, and that pleadings are filed with the proper court.
• Spousal and child support — Spousal and child support help to ensure that spouses and children can maintain the same standard of living to which they have become accustomed during the marriage. When it comes to children, courts always consider what is in their best interests.
• Distribution of marital assets — Assets that spouses accumulate throughout their marriage are called marital assets and are subject to equitable distribution, in the event the spouses decide to divorce at some point in the future.
• Child custody — Divorce proceedings can be especially hard on the parties’ minor children. In determining which parent or parents should have legal and physical custody, the courts will again look to what is in the best interests of the minor child or children.
