An Experienced Divorce Lawyer Can Help Keep Costs Down

The law in Illinois requires a judgment for divorce to address a number of issues, including the division of marital property and spousal maintenance/alimony when appropriate. If you and your spouse have children together, your divorce judgment must also include arrangements for parental responsibilities (child custody), parenting time (visitation), and child support.

At Wakenight & Associates, P.C., we realize that a negotiated settlement is usually preferable to long, drawn-out litigation, and often less expensive as well. With this in mind, we will work hard on your behalf to develop a reasonable agreement that is sustainable for many years to come. In doing so, you could potentially save thousands of dollars in court costs, legal fees, and other expenses associated with litigation. If an amicable settlement is not possible, however, our attorneys are also experienced litigators who will fight for you in court.

With our background and knowledge of the law, we are prepared to handle all types of divorce cases. If your case involves an abusive spouse or allegations of infidelity, we can help. If you and your spouse own significant assets or complex business investments, we can assist you in protecting your best interests. No matter how complicated your case may be, our team will remain at your side every step of the way.

Divorce and Historic Recognition

The city of Berwyn is home to many buildings of historic and architectural significance, including both commercial and residential structures. Several years ago, in fact, the Central Berwyn Bungalow Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places. While the recognition is and will continue to be positive for the community, it might actually make things more challenging for you. Considerations like these could affect the value of your home and must be taken into account when deciding how to handle a marital home that is located in or near the Historic District. Our lawyers will help you analyze all of the details of your situation and to make the best possible decisions about moving forward with your life.
