How Illinois Family Law Works

Illinois family law focuses on fairness, cooperation, and the best interests of children. Even in complex cases, the law aims to help families reach equitable, lasting outcomes.

Attorney Kari Cornelison helps clients understand key aspects of Illinois family law, including:

icon

Parental Responsibilities and Parenting Time

Determining how parents share time and decision-making for their children.

icon

Child Support

Calculated under Illinois’ “income shares” model, based on both parents’ incomes.

icon

Spousal Maintenance (Alimony)

Determined by state guidelines and individual circumstances.

icon

Property Division

Marital property and debts are divided equitably, not necessarily equally.

icon

Post-Decree Modifications

Court orders can be updated if family needs or financial situations change.

Understanding these principles helps clients move through the process with confidence and control.
