How Illinois Family Law Works
Illinois family law emphasizes fairness, cooperation, and protecting the best interests of children. Attorney Kari Cornelison guides clients through each stage of the process, ensuring they understand their rights and responsibilities.
Key areas of Illinois family law include:
Parental Responsibilities and Parenting Time
Determining how parents will share time and decision-making.
Child Support
Based on both parents’ incomes under Illinois’ income-shares model.
Spousal Maintenance (Alimony)
Determined by state guidelines and statutory factors.
Property Division
Marital property is divided equitably, not necessarily equally.
Post-Decree Modifications
Orders can be changed when circumstances shift.
By understanding these core principles early, families can approach their case with less anxiety and more confidence.
