Divorce is a life-changing event, and the process can be overwhelming. At Goodman Law Firm, we guide individuals and families through every step of the divorce process in Illinois. Whether you’re considering divorce or have already been served with divorce papers, you don’t have to face these challenges alone. Our compassionate legal team is here to help you protect your rights, advocate for your needs, and work toward the best possible outcome for your future.
The Illinois divorce process can feel daunting, especially if you’re unfamiliar with legal procedures. From filing the initial Petition for Dissolution of Marriage to finalizing the terms of your divorce, each stage involves significant legal and emotional considerations. After the initial petition, temporary orders may be issued to address immediate concerns, such as parenting time or financial support. Discovery, negotiation, and settlement discussions follow, with the ultimate goal of reaching an agreement that serves everyone’s best interests. When agreements cannot be reached, a judge will resolve disputes through hearings or a trial.
For divorces involving children, Illinois requires a parenting plan to be submitted within four months of filing. Additional mediation or evaluations may be necessary to settle parenting time disputes, ensuring decisions prioritize the children’s well-being.
Navigating this process can be complicated, making it essential to have a divorce lawyer on your side. We ensure your voice is heard, your interests are protected, and the complex details are handled with care.
Divorces are about more than just ending a marriage—they are about securing your future. A knowledgeable attorney protects your legal rights and ensures every detail is addressed, from financial disclosures to parenting arrangements. Without experienced legal counsel, you risk overlooking critical issues that could significantly impact your family, finances, and future.
