Cook County Divorce and Dissolution of Marriage Lawyers

Getting a divorce is a difficult time in anyone's life because of the emotional elements and the complicated legal steps that must be taken. At Katz Law Office, Ltd. in Chicago, Illinois, we take a detail-oriented approach to gathering the information and implement a streamlined process to resolve matters as quickly as we can.

During your first meeting at our firm, we will discuss your situation, the related processes and procedures, and the options that you have, including mediation and litigation. Your divorce attorney will have you fill out a professional intake form. That will provide us the details we need to prepare your petition based on Illinois divorce law.

At the Katz Law Office, Ltd., we advocate for you throughout the divorce process, including discovery, interrogatories, and disclosure statements. We will request financial documents and if we do not get a complete picture, we will subpoena bank records, employment records, and any other information to give us the data we need to move forward. One of the main concerns that our clients have is how they will support themselves or their children prior to a formal divorce decree. Our attorneys are sensitive to that concern and file a temporary petition for child support and spousal maintenance.

Once the financial information is in hand, we will negotiate a resolution to your divorce case. If a resolution cannot be found or it is not satisfactory, we will litigate your case in divorce court. Mediation is often the better option in a divorce matter because it keeps the lines of communication open and gives you more control over the outcome. However, negotiation is only as effective as the other side's willingness to cooperate.

The attorneys at our firm pride themselves on their attention, energy, and professionalism. For more information or to schedule a consultation regarding a divorce or alimony matter, please contact us.
