High-Asset Divorce
Divorce becomes a financial litigation problem when the estate includes businesses, executive compensation, significant investments, real estate, or assets that are difficult to identify and value.

Practice Areas
Focused representation across the financial, parenting and enforcement issues that drive Illinois divorce and family-law cases.
Divorce + Dissolution
A divorce case is a sequence of legal, financial and parenting decisions. The objective is to identify the decisions that change the outcome and keep the rest from consuming the case.
EXPLORE →Parenting Allocation
Parenting cases are decided around the child’s best interests, but the result depends on evidence: history, judgment, communication, logistics, safety and the proposed plan for the child’s life.
EXPLORE →Spousal Maintenance
Maintenance disputes are about more than a formula. Income, duration, lifestyle, earning capacity and the structure of compensation often determine whether the guideline calculation tells the whole story.
EXPLORE →Property Division
Property division is an evidence problem before it becomes a negotiation problem: classify the asset, trace it, value it, understand the tax consequence, and then decide what an equitable allocation should look like.
EXPLORE →Orders of Protection
Protective-order proceedings can change possession of a home, contact between family members, parenting arrangements and firearm access on an emergency timeline.
EXPLORE →Relocation
A proposed move can reset the practical architecture of a parenting plan. Illinois relocation cases focus on statutory notice, distance thresholds and the child’s best interests.
EXPLORE →Post-Decree Matters
A judgment ends the divorce case on paper. Life changes after judgment, and orders sometimes need to be enforced, modified, clarified or implemented.
EXPLORE →Prenuptial + Postnuptial Agreements
A marital agreement works when it is clear, informed and designed around the assets and risks the parties actually have—not a generic form downloaded two weeks before the wedding.
