Chicago Celebrity Divorce Attorney
Law Firm Helping Public Figures Maintain Privacy and Confidentiality During and Illinois Divorce
Divorce affects people from all walks of life, and fortunately, it offers anyone who is in an unhappy marriage the chance to start over. However, it also often involves matters that are highly personal, and nobody wants to have a public court battle in which their "dirty laundry" will be on display for everyone to see. This is especially true for people who are known to the public, since releasing details about their personal lives can not only be embarrassing, it can affect their careers and their ability to earn an income. For anyone who is a public figure, it is critical to be represented by a skilled attorney throughout the legal process of divorce.
At Weiss-Kunz & Oliver, LLC, our lawyers have assisted clients in a wide variety of complex divorce cases, and we understand the legal and financial issues that celebrities, business leaders, politicians, or other public figures will address when ending their marriages. When privacy is of utmost priority to you, we can help you negotiate a marital settlement agreement out of court while simultaneously working to ensure that you achieve a positive outcome to your case.
Maintaining Confidentiality
Keeping the decisions you make about the dissolution of your marriage private is of high priority to our firm as you go through the divorce process. In many cases, using mediation or collaborative law are options for maintaining privacy in your divorce. The issues discussed between you, your spouse, a mediator, and/or your respective attorneys will be completely confidential and inadmissible in court.
The attorney-client privilege will ensure that all communications made during negotiations with your spouse and their attorney will be kept private and confidential. If necessary, we can also petition to have your divorce settlement sealed from public access after it is entered with the court at the time your divorce is finalized.
