Chicago-Area Divorce Attorney

You almost certainly have many questions about what your life will be like after divorce. You are likely to be concerned about maintaining strong connections with your children; how you will survive financially; and whether mediation or litigation will help you achieve the results you want.

At the Chicago, Illinois-based Law Offices of Annette M. Fernholz, P.C., divorce attorney Annette M. Fernholz tells clients what they need to hear, rather than what they want to hear. If you want an honest assessment from an experienced lawyer about your rights in divorce, in addition to proactive advice on the road ahead of you, consult with us.

Our law firm will empower you to make informed decisions about separation and dissolution of marriage. If you are seeking a new life, we can help you begin again.

Property Division
We will assist in establishing a fair and equitable division of marital assets, including retirement and investment accounts and evaluation of businesses. We help our clients preserve their non-marital property, including inheritances, gifts, and property owned prior to marriage. In addition to asset division, we will assist in assigning responsibility for debt and tax liability, including mortgage interest.

Maintenance / Alimony
Divorce lawyer Annette M. Fernholz will be your advocate in establishing a fair, equitable, and reasonable alimony schedule and payment plan that takes into account the length of your marriage, the earning capacity of both spouses, and the duration of the spousal support obligation.

Mediation
While Attorney Fernholz is an outstanding litigator and appeals attorney, she is also an insightful mediator. If you seek an alternative to court — more control in divorce proceedings and a more civil tone with your ex-spouse for the sake of your children — we can assist through mediation and collaborative law. When you and your partner make a full disclosure of assets, mediation is a cost-effective way of retaining these assets and expediting the divorce process.

For a free initial phone consultation regarding divorce, contact the Law Offices of Annette M. Fernholz, P.C. We will be accessible throughout your time of legal need, providing the advice you need to move your case toward the personal and legal resolution you seek.
