How Illinois Family Law Works
Illinois family law is designed to support fairness and the well-being of children, even in the most challenging circumstances. With Attorney Kari Cornelison’s guidance, clients understand their rights and responsibilities throughout each step of the process.
Important elements of Illinois family law include:

Establishing how parents will make decisions and share time with their children.
Child Support
Calculated under Illinois’ income shares model based on both parents’ earnings.
Spousal Maintenance (Alimony)
In exchange for benefits, workers typically give up the right to sue their employer directly.
Property Division
Assets and debts acquired during the marriage are divided equitably.
Post-Decree Modifications
Existing court orders can be modified when circumstances change.
Understanding these laws helps you approach your case with confidence and realistic expectations.
