Even the most amicable divorce may bring hidden emotional and financial difficulties. Those difficulties will multiply exponentially if your divorce is contentious from start to finish. Whether you are the spouse who filed for the divorce or the spouse who was unexpectedly served with divorce papers, it is crucial that you have an experienced divorce attorney by your side. 

An attorney from Weiss-Kunz & Oliver, LLC will consistently fight for your rights and your future, making a significant difference in the eventual outcome of your divorce.

Is Legal Separation for You?

If you are not ready for your marriage to be legally over, but want to live apart from your spouse while deciding your future, a legal separation might be the right move for you. A legal separation allows the court to determine child custody, spousal maintenance, visitation, and child support issues. To obtain a legal separation in Illinois, you must have lived in the state for more than 90 days. In order for custody decisions to be made, your children must have lived in Illinois for at least six months. In most cases, couples who choose legal separation are trying to save their marriage, reject divorce on religious grounds, feel it will be easier on the children, or domestic violence is an issue. The attorneys at Weiss-Kunz & Oliver, LLC can help you determine if legal separation is right for your marriage.
