Trusted Family Law Counsel in Sugar Grove and Batavia

Divorce and the concerns associated with divorce comprise a significant percentage of all family law cases, and I offer trusted, reliable divorce representation to clients in Kane County, Kendall County, and DuPage County, Illinois. With that in mind, it is important to understand that the area of family law consists of much more than just divorce. As an experienced family law attorney, I am ready, willing, and able to help you with family-related issues such as:

• Prenuptial agreements: A prenuptial agreement may be used to outline the rights and responsibilities of each spouse as they pertain to property, insurance concerns, and other matters. A valid agreement requires voluntary participation from both parties.
• Postnuptial agreements: A postnuptial agreement may address similar issues as those that could be covered in a prenuptial agreement, but a postnuptial agreement is signed after the marriage has begun. Some couples use postnuptial agreements to resolve legal separations.
• Annulments: An annulment is a declaration by the court that a marriage is invalid. Annulments are only available in very limited situations, and I can help you determine if pursuing an annulment is best for your circumstances.
• Paternity/Parentage: Establishing legal paternity can offer benefits to the child, as well as to both parents. I help both fathers and mothers with the process of establishing paternity, as well as with matters related to fathers' rights regarding parenting time and parental responsibilities.
• Orders of protection: If domestic violence or abuse is an issue in your relationship, an order of protection could help keep you and your children safe. I understand how destructive abusive behavior can be, and I will work closely with you as you seek the protection you need and deserve.

I will develop a strategy for resolving your case based on your specific needs, values, and goals. At all times, I will remain focused on helping you obtain the best possible outcome, no matter how complicated your situation might be.
