Divorce
Beginning in 2018, Illinois law both authorizes and facilitates collaborative divorce. “Collaborative divorce” is an alternative dispute resolution option that keeps costs down and equitably ends a marriage without destroying the family in the process. During the process, spouses and their attorneys work together cooperatively to negotiate equitable settlements without going to court. The focus is on constructive problem-solving and shared values rather than on adversarial bargaining and court-imposed solutions.

Divorce
Beginning in 2018, Illinois law both authorizes and facilitates collaborative divorce. “Collaborative divorce” is an alternative dispute resolution option that keeps costs down and equitably ends a marriage without destroying the family in the process. During the process, spouses and their attorneys work together cooperatively to negotiate equitable settlements without going to court. The focus is on constructive problem-solving and shared values rather than on adversarial bargaining and court-imposed solutions.
Child Support
In July 2017 the child support laws in Illinois were completely overhauled. Both parents’ incomes are now utilized to determine the proper amount of child support. In some cases, the amount of parenting time allocated between the parties also affects child support. Childcare, extracurricular activities, education, and healthcare expenses, as well as the child dependency exemption for income tax purposes, may be shared between the parents. We will assist you in taking into account the numerous financial considerations relating to child support, and work diligently to maximize the amount of money in your pocket.
Child Custody and Visitation
Mediation is an alternative dispute resolution option where the parties are assisted by a neutral party to reach agreements on their legal issues. In Illinois, parents are generally required to mediate their child custody disputes before the Court can decide the issues. However, mediation is also a great option for divorcing couples without children. H. Wayne Statham is a certified mediator for the Ninth Judicial Circuit of Illinois.
Adoption
Paternity
Premarital Agreement
Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements help couples make important decisions about their relationships, particularly relating to their finances, in the event of divorce or other issues. Prenuptial agreements are drafted prior to the marriage, while postnuptial agreements are drafted during the marriage. Such agreements can protect separate property, support estate planning, and establish procedures and ground rules for deciding future matters.
Guardianship
Guardianship may be an option for a child who is without a parent that is willing or able to care for him or her. Sometimes a parent becomes incapacitated with a mental or physical illness or struggles with an addiction that affects his or her ability to care for his or her children. To ensure the safety and wellbeing of the child’s person and estate in such cases, a guardian may be appointed by the court. A guardian then becomes responsible for the child’s healthcare, education, and finances.
Spousal Support
Divorce proceedings involve numerous issues, including ascertaining and dividing marital and non-marital assets and debts, maintenance (also known as alimony or spousal support), child support, and child custody. We understand that going through a divorce is difficult on everyone: you, your spouse, your respective families, and especially your children. With that in mind, we take an individualized approach to all of our divorce cases. We carefully navigate our clients through the process, explaining legal rights and obligations in a way the individual client can understand and process. We will also address and guide you on other important matters which may be implicated by your divorce, such as income taxes, medical insurance, bankruptcy, and estate planning.
Legal Separation
Legal Separations are different than divorces and are fairly uncommon. A legal separation may be appropriate if you have unique circumstances where you and/or your spouse benefit by remaining legally married, but you otherwise become physically and financially separated from one another. Such unique circumstances may be related to religion, taxes, retirement benefits, or medical insurance.
Annulment
In certain, rare circumstances, a party may be able to seek an annulment rather than a divorce. If a marriage is annulled, it’s as if the marriage never occurred. Examples of grounds for an annulment include fraudulent inducement, incapacity, and duress.

Criminal Defense
The term "criminal defense" is used to describe the legal protections provided by attorneys to persons accused of committing a crime. To ensure that your constitutional rights are protected, it is important that you have an attorney representing you through all aspects of the criminal court system, including arraignments, pretrial hearings, settlement conferences, trials and sentencing hearings.

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
As it is the simplest device for planning the distribution of an estate after death, wills are the most common estate planning document. Simply put, a will directs how your property is to be distributed after your death, and nominates a person, called an executor, to supervise the process. Most jurisdictions have specific requirements for the execution of a will, and you should consult with an attorney regarding the formal requirements.
Wills
These documents direct what will happen to a person's estate and in relation to their personal care if the person becomes legally incapacitated. A health care power of attorney nominates an agent to make health care decisions for you, while a property power of attorney nominates an agent to handle your financial affairs. Other common documents include living wills and guardian designations.
Power of Attorney
Estate planning generally describes the process of planning for the management and disposal of a person's assets during and at or after death, including planning for incapacity. It most commonly includes the drafting of wills, trusts, and powers of attorney, but may also include guardianships for disabled adults, transferring title to assets, making gifts, and other efforts to eliminate uncertainty while maximizing the value of a person's estate. The actions taken by an attorney are driven by the client's specific goals, and may be as simple or as comlex as the client's needs dictate.
