Children's Rights
We act as a children's representative in child custody cases. In some custody disputes the family court will appoint a family law attorney to represent the best interests of the child. In this role we speak to the best interests of the child. When the child is old enough to articulate his or her wishes in a custody case, we present these concerns to the court.
Mediation
In some cases families may be able to resolve issues without the need for traditional divorce court litigation. Our Libertyville divorce and custody lawyers represent clients in family law mediation efforts in Illinois.
Frozen Embryo
New developments in reproductive science have led to new and challenging family law issues. We help divorcing couples resolve matters involving the legal control or rights to possess frozen embryos.
