Property Division in Chicago Divorces

Over the course of your marriage, you and your spouse may have purchased or acquired plenty of property together. In Illinois, all of the assets obtained during the marriage are likely to be considered marital property, with very few exceptions. During your divorce, you and your spouse may have to divide up:

• Real estate
• Investments
• Bank accounts
• Retirement accounts
• Furniture
• Vehicles
• Jewelry and expensive art pieces
• Businesses

Property division can be a contentious subject in many divorces. To resolve any disputes, consider involving a skilled divorce attorney early into the process. At Cameron Law Center, LLC, we can help you work toward an amicable asset division settlement through negotiation outside of court, which can save both you and your spouse time and money. If needed, however, our firm can represent you in a divorce trial, using aggressive litigation strategies to protect your property rights.

Child Custody Issues for Persian Families in Chicago

Many divorcing spouses run into conflict during the process of allocating child custody. As a parent, it may be difficult to separate your emotions from the legal proceedings. At Cameron Law Center, LLC, we are here to provide you with strong guidance and advocacy to help you exercise your parental rights.

Child custody consists of two separate duties known as parenting time and decision-making responsibility. The former refers to how much time each parent spends taking care of the child, while the latter covers a parent's authority to make choices about school, healthcare, and other important subjects.

In Illinois, all important child custody decisions are based on the child's best interests. The judge will weigh the child's needs given their age, the fitness of each parent, and many other considerations to guide the final decision. Parents can also agree on a custody agreement outside of court as long as it serves those aforementioned best interests.

Alimony Concerns in Chicago-Based Divorces

If you and your spouse earn uneven incomes, one of you may wish to request spousal support, otherwise known as alimony. A judge can award spousal support based on the needs of each party, the standard of living established during the marriage, and other relevant factors.

Alimony is typically awarded through a court order. If your ex violates this court order, a skilled divorce attorney can help you enforce the order and collect the missing payments. This could involve holding your ex in contempt of court, in which the court may impose various legal penalties to get your ex to comply with the judge's order.
