How Your Lawyer Can Facilitate Your Divorce
Filing Divorce
When you decide to divorce your spouse, you need to fill out the proper paperwork with the court. Filing the paperwork first can have significant strategic advantages. Furthermore, you’ll be able to live as a single person once you file the separation and then the subsequent divorce.
Legal Advice
Laws vary from state to state regarding divorce. You will likely have questions for your lawyer regarding your divorce. In Illinois, marital assets are divided equitably, which is not the same as equally. The courts will assess each person’s financial contributions in the marriage, future income potential, spending habits, behavior in the marriage, and the length of the marriage to come to a determination on how to divide assets if the case goes to trial. Your lawyer can’t tell you what the outcome will be, but they can give you legal information relevant to your case to help you make the best decisions throughout the case.
Negotiations
Most exes will come to an agreement about the terms of the divorce in mediation, even if it takes several rounds of negotiations. Alternatively, your Schaumburg family lawyer will fight your case in trial.
