EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION IN ILLINOIS DIVORCE CASES Illinois is one of many US states to use an equitable distribution law. This property division method aims to ensure the fairest possible division of marital assets and debts in divorce by accounting for as many details as possible between the divorcing spouses. The equitable distribution standard typically aims to resolve property division with some measure of finality, negating the need for ongoing spousal support arrangements. Contact one of the experienced divorce attorneys with Johnson O’Keefe today to learn how the equitable distribution principle may affect your Illinois divorce.

ADR FOR CUSTODY ARRANGEMENTS INVOLVING SPECIAL NEEDS CHILDREN Parents often understand the special needs of their children better than anyone else. To think that a family court can make final decisions on co-parenting plans could be worrying for some parents, especially as many judges spend only a few minutes learning about a child before legal proceedings begin. Parents should know that litigation is not always necessary when planning for their special needs children, and they can create co-parenting plans through “alternative dispute resolution” or “ADR.” Reach out to an experienced member of the Johnson O’Keefe team today to discuss your options.
