Lavelle Law News and Events
Anyone going through a divorce in Illinois is required to complete a financial affidavit as part of the legal process. Each spouse completes their own financial affidavit, utilizing all financial records and information available to them. Follow this step-by-step guide to streamline the process and avoid costly errors.
The Illinois legislature has recently taken a significant step in closing a longstanding loophole in child support. This amendment represents a pivotal change in how courts assess and calculate child support obligations, providing greater protections against those who attempt to evade their financial responsibilities.
Divorce among older couples, often referred to as “gray divorce,” has become increasingly common in recent years. In Illinois, like many other states, this trend has significant legal, financial, and emotional implications. As couples over 50 decide to end their marriages, they encounter a set of considerations distinct from those faced by younger couples. Understanding these nuances is crucial for anyone going through a gray divorce in Illinois.
