Experienced Family Law -- Divorce Attorney |
Wheaton, Geneva, and Sycamore, Illinois
Divorce is one of the most emotional experiences a person will ever face. The decision to end a marriage is not an easy one and it is often accompanied with anger, fear, and resentment. Too often divorcing parties use the legal system as a chance to "get even" with their spouse, to "stick it to 'em", and to pay them back for years of heartbreak and disappointment. As you can imagine, being petty and vindictive in proceedings for the dissolution of marriage only serves to enrich the attorneys.
Therefore, it is in your best interest to approach divorce from an amicable perspective. It is also critical for helping your children through this difficult process. An experienced and ethical family law attorney can help you see your situation clearly and objectively and he will be able to guide you through the process to obtain the best overall result without undue delay and expense.

Child custody, parenting time, visitation: These matters can be the most disputed in any divorce. Lawyer Paul Heinrich's goal in all child custody and parenting time matters is to resolve custody in a manner that is in the best interest of the child and that also works for our client.
Child support: The Illinois child support guidelines essentially determine child support. Factors taken into account include both parents' net income and expenses and who has primary residential custody, when determining child support.
Spousal support: Spousal support seeks to ensure that the spouse seeking maintenance (formerly known as alimony) maintains a stable financial lifestyle when the other spouse has a significantly greater earning capacity. In representing clients with regard to fair spousal support, our law firm gains a comprehensive picture of your financial situation and earnings capacity and has considerable experience obtaining fair and balanced outcomes for both sides.
Property and debt division: Property division can be a contentious issue in any divorce, especially a divorce with significant assets or a business. Our firm has the knowledge and ability, and network of experts when needed, to help clients develop fair division of property and debt.
Domestic battery: Unfortunately, there can be times when the stress of a divorce erupts into a physical assault by one spouse upon another or allegations of domestic abuse. We represent clients who have been victimized by domestic violence and we have also represented clients accused of domestic violence.
