- Divorce – Divorce is never easy, but having a knowledgeable attorney by your side can make the process more manageable. At the Law Office of Fedor Kozlov, P.C., we assist clients in all aspects of divorce, from filing the initial petition to negotiating settlements and representing you in court. Under Illinois law, the dissolution of marriage is governed by the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act (750 ILCS 5/). We will help you understand your rights and options, providing clear and practical advice to help you move forward with confidence.
- Property Division – One of the most complex aspects of divorce is property division. Illinois follows the principle of equitable distribution, which means that marital property is divided fairly but not necessarily equally. According to the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, the court considers several factors, including the duration of the marriage and the contributions of each spouse. We will work diligently to ensure that you receive a fair share of the marital assets.
- Domestic Violence – If you are experiencing domestic violence, it is crucial to seek help immediately. Our firm can assist you in obtaining an order of protection under the Illinois Domestic Violence Act (750 ILCS 60/). We provide compassionate and confidential support to help you secure the safety and well-being of yourself and your children.
- Debt Division – Dividing marital debt can be just as challenging as dividing assets. Under Illinois law, both spouses are responsible for debts incurred during the marriage. We will help you navigate the complexities of debt division, ensuring that the division is fair and equitable.
- Asset Division – Asset division involves more than just dividing physical property. It includes bank accounts, retirement funds, investments, and other financial assets. The Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act provides guidelines for dividing these assets equitably. Our firm will ensure that all assets are accounted for and divided fairly.
- Equity Division – Equity division pertains to the division of home equity and other properties. Whether you are dealing with the family home or investment properties, we will help you understand your rights and ensure that the equity is divided in a manner that reflects your contributions and needs.
- Spousal Support (Maintenance) – Spousal support, also known as maintenance, may be awarded to ensure that both spouses can maintain a similar standard of living after divorce. Illinois law outlines specific guidelines for determining maintenance, considering factors such as the length of the marriage and the financial resources of each spouse. We will advocate for a fair maintenance arrangement that supports your financial stability.
- Business Division – If you or your spouse owns a business, its division can be particularly complex. We will work with financial experts to accurately value the business and ensure that it is divided equitably. This may involve negotiating a buyout or dividing the business assets.
- Tax Implications – Divorce can have significant tax implications. We will help you understand the potential tax consequences of various settlement options, including property division and spousal support. Our goal is to minimize your tax liability and ensure that you are fully informed about the financial impact of your decisions.
- Child Custody (Parenting Time and Responsibilities) – Child custody, now referred to as parenting time and responsibilities, is one of the most critical issues in a divorce. Illinois law prioritizes the best interests of the child, considering factors such as the child’s relationship with each parent and the parent’s ability to cooperate. We will help you create a parenting plan that supports your child’s well-being and maintains strong parent-child relationships.
- Child Support – Child support is designed to ensure that both parents contribute to their children’s financial needs. Illinois uses an income shares model to calculate child support, considering both parents’ income and the amount of time each parent spends with the child. We will ensure that child support is calculated accurately and fairly, advocating for your child’s best interests.
- DCFS Cases – It is essential to have experienced legal representation in cases involving the Department of Child and Family Services (DCFS). Whether you are facing allegations of abuse or neglect or seeking to regain custody of your children, we will provide the support and advocacy you need to navigate the DCFS process.
- Family Law Mediation – Mediation can be an effective way to resolve family law disputes without going to court. Our firm offers mediation services to help you and your spouse reach amicable agreements on issues such as property division, child custody, and support. Mediation can save time, reduce conflict, and provide more control over the outcome of your case.
- Family Law Appeals – If you are dissatisfied with a family law court decision, you may have the option to file an appeal. Our firm has experience handling family law appeals, and we will carefully review your case to determine the best course of action. We will advocate for your rights and work to achieve a more favorable outcome on appeal.
