Your Guide to Navigating Divorce in Illinois

When your marriage is ending, you deserve an advocate who understands both the emotional and legal complexities involved. At Hirsch Law Group, we provide experienced guidance tailored to your situation, your goals, and your family’s needs.

Our Illinois divorce attorneys help clients resolve key issues such as:

  • High-Asset Divorce: High-asset divorces involve complex financial issues like businesses, investments, and real estate. Our attorneys work with financial professionals to ensure assets are valued and divided fairly to protect your future.
  • Child Custody: Custody cases decide where children live and how major decisions are made. We create parenting plans that protect your relationship while prioritizing your child’s well-being.
  • Child Support: Child support ensures children receive the care they deserve after a separation. We help calculate fair payments, enforce orders, and seek changes when circumstances shift.
  • Spousal Support: Also called maintenance, spousal support helps one spouse stay financially stable after divorce. We assess needs, income, and lifestyle to pursue fair and lawful support terms.
  • Orders of Protection Defense: Protective orders ensure safety but can sometimes be misused in divorce disputes. We defend clients against false claims and help those in real danger obtain protection.
  • Uncontested Divorce: In an uncontested divorce, both spouses agree on property, custody, and support. We streamline the process—handling filings and finalizing your divorce efficiently.
  • DCFS Cases: DCFS investigates claims of abuse or neglect involving children. We guide parents through these cases, protecting their rights and helping keep families together.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between annulment and divorce?

A divorce ends a legally valid marriage, while an annulment declares that a marriage was never legally valid to begin with. Annulments are typically granted only under specific circumstances, such as fraud, coercion, or incapacity.

How do I file for divorce?

Filing for divorce begins with submitting a petition to the court and serving a copy to your spouse. Once both parties are notified, the process continues through negotiation, mediation, or court hearings depending on the level of dispute.

How long does the divorce process take?

The timeline depends on whether the divorce is contested. Uncontested divorces can be finalized in a few months, while contested cases involving disputes over assets, custody, or support may take much longer.

How much does divorce cost?

The cost varies depending on the complexity of your case, attorney fees, and whether disputes must be resolved in court. Uncontested divorces generally cost less, while contested or high-asset cases require more time and resources.

Is there a way to get divorced without going to court?

Yes. Many couples settle their issues through mediation or collaborative divorce, where both parties agree on terms outside of court. The agreement is then approved by a judge to make it official.

Can I receive spousal support?

Spousal support, or maintenance, may be awarded based on factors like income differences, the length of the marriage, and each spouse’s financial needs. An attorney can help you pursue or challenge a support order that fits your circumstances.

What happens if my spouse refuses to sign the divorce papers?

If your spouse refuses to cooperate, you can still move forward. After proper notice is given, the court may proceed with a default judgment to finalize the divorce.

How is child custody determined?

Custody is based on the child’s best interests. Courts consider each parent’s involvement, stability, and ability to meet the child’s needs while encouraging ongoing relationships with both parents whenever possible.
