Illinois & Wisconsin Family Law Attorney

The family law process touches people in a deeply personal fashion. When dealing with divorce, child placement and other things that impact loved ones, it’s important to work with an attorney that can negotiate the complicated court system. At the Law Offices of Angela M. Aliota, we vigorously represent our clients’ interests.

Divorce

When a marriage falters, it is commonly one of the worst experiences in one’s life. One spouse may believe the other spouse may be at fault, or has let the other spouse down with their behavior. Both Illinois and Wisconsin are true no-fault states.

A no fault divorce refers to a type of divorce in which the spouse that is filing for divorce does not have to prove any fault on the part of the other spouse. All a spouse has to do is give any reason that the state honors for the divorce.

Parental Responsibility and Parenting Time

Family Law Judges operate under the basic rule that whomever parental responsibility decisions are awarded to and whatever amount of parenting time is granted to each parent, is based on the child’s best interests. That is an important concept for parents to consider because stability, moral values and economics play a significant role. And, if you have a child out of wedlock, it may be necessary to establish paternity to gain your parental rights. Although parents start the process on equal footing, there are things that can help or hurt your cause.

Spousal Maintenance

Commonly referred to as alimony, payments are made during a divorce or legal separation to a spouse to reduce financial hardship. In many marriages, one person takes on the primary breadwinner task, and the other handles the majority of the home and child rearing responsibilities. Spousal support calculations can be very complex and vary in length.

In order to make an informed decision about how to petition for these benefits, you should consider your post-marital goals, expectations and consult with an experienced attorney who can help you get the financial support you deserve.
