Family Law Questions From Cook County Clients
Here are answers to common questions clients in South Holland and nearby suburbs ask before their first consultation.
Can we still work with one attorney if we agree on most things?
In Illinois, one attorney typically represents one spouse in a divorce, even in an uncontested case, to avoid conflicts of interest. Our office can represent one spouse while recommending the other seek independent counsel to review the final agreement, which helps protect both parties.
What if we disagree on one or two issues but agree on everything else?
Many couples come close to an uncontested divorce but need help working through a few remaining points, such as parenting schedules or how to divide certain property. A family law attorney can often help resolve these outstanding issues so the case can still move forward efficiently rather than becoming fully contested.
