In this article, our Elmhurst family law attorney Kevin O'Flaherty explains the process of mediation. Mediation is a way for parties to come to an agreement on child-related issues with the help of a neutral third party mediator. This can help parties define the issues, facilitate communication between parties, and help the parties reach mutually acceptable solutions. Mediation can be undertaken voluntarily or under a court order. It is important to have a lawyer present, especially when there is an imbalance of power between the mediating parties. If you are successful in reaching an agreement, your attorney will file the results with the court in order to reach a final order in the case without the necessity for litigation.
In this article, our Elmhurst family law attorneys explain recent changes to Illinois divorce and family law. There have been many changes to Illinois divorce law that became effective in 2016. The purpose of these changes was to reduce the potential for disputes and to update Illinois divorce law in light of modern parenting realities. These changes include: grounds for divorce, custody and visitation rights, and relocation of a parent.
Our Elmhurst family attorneys explain the differences in how child support is determined in 2020. Once an appropriate amount for child support is set by the court, each parent’s portion of the obligation must be designated. Typically, this is determined by the parents’ relative incomes. The larger the difference in income between the obligor and oblige, the more the obligor is likely to pay in child support. The change from a fixed-rate model to an income shares model affects each case differently. Spouses with similar incomes will likely receive less in child support under the new law.
