If you are considering divorce, there are probably many questions going through your mind. Are you doing the right thing? What about the children? Can you make it on your own? The advice of an experienced lawyer can make a big difference as you deal with these difficult issues.
I am Alexandra Goddard, a divorce attorney, located in Barrington, with more than 35 years of legal experience providing skilled guidance to clients in Lake, McHenry, Cook, Kane and DuPage counties. I am committed to helping my clients achieve positive resolutions to the many important issues involved in obtaining a divorce.
Finding the Best Approach to Resolve the Key Issues in Your Divorce
A divorce is never easy, but the right advice and a compassionate guiding hand can go a long way toward making the process less stressful. I can provide reasoned advice and effective representation in regard to all the important aspects of your divorce, including the following:
- Child custody and support: I am experienced at helping parents come up with workable custody and support arrangements that protect their relationships with their children.
- Property division: I have assisted clients at all income and asset levels with the division of marital assets, including real estate, business assets and retirement accounts.
- Spousal maintenance: Whether maintenance, also known as alimony, is awarded in your divorce is a very fact-specific question. I can help you determine whether this is likely to be an issue in your case.
There are basically four ways to resolve a divorce in Illinois:
- Contested litigation;
- Collaborative Law;
- Mediation; and
- Informal negotiation
If you hire me to handle your case, I will work closely with you to identify and pursue the best approach to your case in view of your personal goals.
