Evanston Illinois Child Custody

Children are the Priority

During a divorce, when children are involved, they are the top priority. Both sides want to make sure that their children are properly cared for and well provided for both during the divorce and after the divorce is finalized. As a parent, I understand that when children are involved there are intense emotions, especially when it comes to child custody and parenting plans. I have more than 30 years of experience representing parents through divorces who live in Evanston and areas nearby Evanston.

A Child Custody Attorney Who Listens

When representing my clients, I work vigorously to make sure each parenting issue is resolved in the best interests of you and your children. I look at all the legal nuances and have successfully helped my clients –- the mother or father, domestic partner, guardians, and others — achieve the best possible child custody outcome. I listen to you and together we craft parenting plans/schedules that are created with the best interests of the children in mind.

On Top of Illinois Child Custody Law

Even with the friendliest divorce, and even when both parents agree, the basic laws and rights surrounding child custody are necessary to understand and can be complicated. As your Evanston child custody attorney, I will carefully explain what is allowed and not allowed under Illinois law. For example, in Illinois law, either parent may request child custody or both parents may agree to joint custody. There are other custody situations that come up including determining who the parent of your child is.

Illinois law puts the children first, and they make any agreement difficult to modify and only in specific cases. For that reason, it is extremely important to hire the right child custody attorney who can help make sure that the final plan is what you want and what is allowed and will not need modification down the road.
