Divorce and separation can be challenging for families with children, especially when the decision becomes final. Although your marital obligations to your child's mother or father are ending, your obligations to your child(ren) will not.
We understand that you want the best for your child(ren), that is why our Chicago child support attorneys at Fairman Law Offices will help you work through your child support dispute, whether you are seeking support or your child's parent is seeking support from you.
Similarly, if you are seeking spousal support from your ex-partner, or if your ex-partner is seeking spousal support from you, we can help you come to an efficient and effective resolution in your alimony disputes.
We Care About You and Your Child's Best Interests
With more than 50 years of combined legal experience, our accomplished lawyers have assisted Illinois families in the Chicago area with support issues.
In child support and spousal support cases, we strive to protect the financial interests of our clients, while identifying the needs of the other party. The court determines how support will be calculated and determined using factors such as:
-
Child support
- Current income of custodial and noncustodial parent
- Earning potential of custodial and noncustodial parent
- Age(s) of child(ren)
- Needs of each child
- Other issues that we will discuss are day care costs, special medical expenses, extracurricular activity expenses, etc.
-
Spousal support
- How long the marriage lasted
- Living standards established during marriage
- Current income of each party
- Earning potential of each party
- Age of each party
- Health of each party
We will help you establish the support you and your child need or the financial amount you should be contributing by thoroughly reviewing the factors that the court will consider and working closely with Illinois Department of Public Aid, County Court Office and the Attorney General's Office.
