Our firm assists families in Lincoln Park with many different types of family law matters. The following are some examples of the types of cases handled by our Lincoln Park family lawyers:
The Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act (IMDMA) governs divorce cases in Illinois, including those throughout Cook County. Our firm commonly helps clients with many different matters arising out of divorce, such as:
Under the IMDMA, language about child custody has been changed to the “allocation of parental responsibilities.” Parental responsibilities include both parenting time and caretaking functions for the child (known previously as physical custody), and important decision-making functions concerning the child’s upbringing and well-being (known previously as legal custody).
If parents can come to an agreement about how parental responsibilities should be allocated, they can create what is known as a parenting plan. If the judge determines that the parenting plan is in the best interests of the child, then the parenting plan can take effect instead of an allocation judgment. If parents cannot agree, then the court will decide what is in the best interests of the child and will issue an allocation judgment.
The Lincoln Park family lawyers at our firm can answer any questions you might have about the allocations of parental responsibilities, child support, and other matters related to minor children.
