At the Law Offices of Jeffery M. Leving℠, Ltd., we help fathers understand what is at stake and advocate for a brighter future for you and your children. Our fathers’ rights attorneys help you document your involvement with your children and build a strategy for temporary and final parenting arrangements, protecting your role in your children’s lives.
Divorce can reshape your financial future. Illinois uses equitable distribution, meaning the court divides marital property in proportions it considers “just” rather than automatically splitting it 50/50. Proceedings may also address maintenance and child support using an income-shares calculation method.
For those wondering how to start divorce proceedings in Illinois, our attorneys will guide you through each stage. You do not have to navigate court filings, parenting disputes, negotiations, and hearings alone.
We begin by discussing your marriage, children, property, finances, and any court action that has already occurred. We identify the issues likely to shape your divorce and future and explain how our firm will represent your interests to meet your goals.
To initiate divorce proceedings, one spouse files a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage in the appropriate Illinois circuit court. If your spouse has already filed, we will review the petition, explain the issues raised, and prepare the appropriate response and/or otherwise plead to win for you and your children.
Whether you are starting divorce proceedings or responding to them, we make sure you understand what comes next.
Issues involving parenting time, child support, possession of the marital home, and other concerns may require immediate action before the divorce is final.
We help fathers strategically prepare for temporary court proceedings where critical orders are entered and develop parenting proposals to accurately reflect and safeguard their involvement in their children’s lives. Early preparation helps identify the facts and documentation needed as the case progresses.
