Family Law
Whether you are contemplating filing for a divorce or were served with divorce papers, there is a lot at stake. The decisions you make now can have a lasting impact on the quality of your relationships with your children and your future financial health. Even the most amicable divorce can unexpectedly turn contentious. To protect yourself and your future, you need the advice and guidance of an experienced Illinois divorce lawyer throughout the divorce process.
At Goodman Law Firm, we have the legal skill and experience you need to protect your interests and achieve your goals. We approach every new case with sensitivity, compassion and discretion. We begin each new matter with a comprehensive analysis of your unique situation while considering the key issues that arise in many divorces. We will identify areas where you and your spouse are likely in agreement, areas where you may disagree, and areas where we need more information. Together we will craft a plan for resolving your divorce that moves you forward, helps you regain control of your life and achieves the best possible outcome for your situation.
When it comes to resolving your divorce, we offer several alternatives to the traditional litigation process including collaborative law, divorce mediation, and negotiation. We encourage our clients to take advantage of any and all appropriate alternatives to litigation. Once our clients choose to litigate, we prepare every case with the expectation that it may go to trial. With more than 20 years of trial and litigation experience, we will aggressively advocate for your best interests in court.
Our goal is to consistently deliver high-quality legal services that are custom-tailored to each clients’ individual needs and goals. To achieve our goal of outstanding service, we accept a select number of cases at a time, cases where we believe we can make a difference for our clients. This allows our clients to maintain a personal relationship with their divorce lawyer and it permits a lawyer to be the primary point of contact for our clients. If you are looking for an experienced divorce attorney, contact us today.
If you have received service of divorce papers, contact an experienced divorce attorney to review the documents, understand your rights, and plan your next steps. Time is critical in divorce proceedings, and having skilled legal counsel from the start can make all the difference.
Bring documents such as financial records, prenuptial agreements, and a list of any questions you have. Be prepared to discuss your relevant goals and concerns openly and honestly. The more information you provide, the better we can assess your situation and develop a strategy that serves your best interests.
The process typically involves filing for divorce, exchanging information, negotiating terms, and finalizing the agreement. If negotiations fail, courtroom litigation will become part of the process.
If your spouse is uncooperative, the court may have to intervene to resolve disputes. At Goodman Law Firm, our attorney has experience in handling contentious cases and will advocate for your interests even in circumstances where spousal cooperation is limited.
Divorce may be clouding your thinking, but not ours. We think strategically about every decision in your case.
A good outcome for you depends on a candid assessment of your situation. You can expect honest advice about your case at every step.
Every client is unique. We’ll get to know you and together craft a plan designed around your specific needs and interests.
