Family law is a broad and complex area of the law, and it includes many different kinds of legal issues that can impact family relationships. Many family law issues in Illinois are governed by the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act (IMDMA), although matters such as paternity and prenuptial agreements are governed by other specific laws in Illinois. Whether you need assistance with a divorce or child custody case, or you need help proving paternity or drafting a premarital agreement, an experienced Oak Lawn family law attorney at Arami Law, Inc. can begin working with you on your case.

Oak Lawn Divorce and Family Law

Divorce is a common legal process in Illinois family law. Our firm can assist you with all aspects of your divorce, from filing your petition for the dissolution of marriage to advocating for your rights in the equitable distribution of property to handling complex issues like the dissolution of a long-term marriage or concerns about hiding property.

Child Custody and Child Support in Oak Lawn

Many divorces involve minor children from the marriage, which means that child custody will need to be determined in those divorces. Yet child custody cases can also arise entirely outside the context of divorce, including in situations where parents were never married or there are questions about parentage.

Child custody cases often go hand-in-hand with child support orders. Under Illinois law, child support obligations are determined based on the “income shares” model, which presumes that both parents are financially responsible for their children and therefore considers both parents’ incomes in calculating the total support obligation. Whether you need assistance calculating child support or enforcing a child support order, our lawyers can assist you.
