Family Law Attorneys Helping With Divorce in DuPage County, Illinois

Our law firm concentrates on helping families through every stage of divorce and overcoming any residual effects that may occur as a result. We provide supportive legal counsel for people who need advice about the divorce process and who would like to know what their options are in regards to any of the following types of family law concerns:

  • Child custody - We can help parents negotiate agreements that will allow them to share parental responsibilities effectively while putting workable parenting time schedules in place.
  • Child support - We work to ensure that children will be financially supported by both parents. We can ensure that both parents' incomes are taken into account when establishing child support orders while also considering applicable child-related expenses.
  • Property distribution - We work with our clients to identify, evaluate, and divide marital property in a fair and equitable manner while addressing any financial concerns that could affect them in the future.
  • Civil union dissolution - Same-sex or opposite-sex partners may have chosen to enter into civil unions as an alternative to marriage. When these relationships end, we can help ensure that many of the issues that would be considered during a divorce will also be handled correctly in these situations.
  • High net worth/high asset divorce - Spouses who own valuable assets or earn high incomes may need to address complex financial concerns as they end their marriage. In these situations, we can help determine the value of various assets, negotiate property settlements, and make sure financial support orders are established correctly.
  • Legal separation - If a couple chooses to live separately without legally terminating their marriage, they may need to address many of the same issues that would be involved in a divorce. We can help spouses negotiate separation agreements that include details related to the division of property, child custody, and financial support.
  • Maintenance/alimony - Spousal support may be appropriate in some situations, including when a spouse has been a stay-at-home parent. We can help spouses determine their eligibility for spousal maintenance while negotiating terms related to the amount and duration of support.
  • Orders of protection - In cases where a person has been accused of domestic violence, we can help family or household members obtain legal protections that will ensure their safety.
  • Paternity - We can help parents take steps to establish legal relationships between fathers and children while also addressing issues related to child custody and child support.

Additionally, our attorneys can assist couples who wish to inquire about premarital and postnuptial agreements, mediation, annulments, and grounds for divorce. We have the answers, and we can ensure that they will be prepared to address legal concerns that will be handled in family courts. We also provide divorce coaching services to ensure that spouses will be prepared for success in their lives as they work to end their marriages and receive a fresh start.

High Asset
Divorce


Couples that have a high net worth may need to address multiple types of complex financial issues during the divorce process. We can assist with the valuation of business assets, protecting professional practices, uncovering hidden assets, appraising real estate and other valuable assets, protecting investments, and other concerns that may affect these cases.

Divorce Over 50

The divorce rate for couples over age 50 has more than doubled in recent years. This can be attributed to several factors, not the least of which is the desire to live an emotionally happy and satisfying life. With children grown and the number of years ahead of major concern, many older couples are choosing to go their separate ways. Called "gray divorce", these cases have issues that are very different from younger couples. With more years together, there are often more complex assets including businesses and real estate, to divide.

Nearing Retirement

Divorce can be unsettling, and this is especially true for couples close to or in retirement, particularly as it relates to financial support.

Health Concerns

Older divorcing spouses may face face health issues that require personal assistance or limit their ability to support themselves.

Financial Issues

Older couples going through divorce may face unique financial concerns around asset division, retirement, and spousal support.

Asset Division

Dividing extensive and valuable marital assets that have accumulated over many years of marriage often requires an experienced attorney.

Spousal Support

The issue of spousal maintenance can be complex when the primary earner spouse may not be working for very long into the future.

Goostree Law Group

A "gray divorce" may involve assets, including businesses and real estate. One or both spouses may be close to retirement, impacting spousal maintenance and other financial concerns. There may also be health issues to take into consideration. At Goostree Law Group, we can help you address divorce-related issues as you near your retirement years.

Always Keeping
Your Child's Best
Interest in Mind


At Goostree Law Group, we understand the emotional turmoil that comes with any family law issue involving children. While most parents try to protect their children and want the best for them, it can become difficult when opposing parties have different agendas.

Our experienced attorneys care deeply about our clients and their children. We will attempt to minimize conflict when possible but seek solutions in the courtroom when necessary. If you have an issue related to children including support, parenting time or parental decision making, we can help address:

While we strive to negotiate a favorable settlement for our clients in every case we take, we are always prepared to go to trial if negotiations fail. As strong litigators, we know how to effectively present our clients’ case to a judge.

Family Law
Beyond Divorce


If you are not yet ready to legally terminate your marriage, you may opt for a legal separation while remaining legally married to your spouse. If you are an unmarried parent, you may need to establish paternity for your child. Family law also includes the preparation of prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, which have become more and more commonplace in the world of marrying later, wealth accumulation, and multiple marriages.

The attorneys at Goostree Law Group have over 80 years of combined experience in the practice of family law. We represent parents seeking to establish paternity in order to receive support or to enjoy time with their child. We assist same-sex couples seeking to divorce and establish the division of assets from years of accumulation prior to legal marriage. And, we seek to protect our clients and their families from domestic violence through orders of protection. If you have a family law matter that needs legal guidance, contact Goostree Law Group today.

high conflict divorce

High Conflict Divorce Issues


While some divorces are able to be resolved amicably, many are not. A variety of issues can lead to high conflict divorce situations including cheating, financial dishonesty, mental health problems, anger issues, and addiction. At Goostree Law Group, we are prepared to seek orders of protection against stalking and harassing behavior, as well as defend against false allegations.

Enforcement and modification

Enforcement & Modifications


Once a divorce is final, most people hope to move on with their lives without the need for attorneys and judges. Unfortunately, many divorces require legal intervention after the initial decree is final. Whether you have issues related to changes in circumstances, non-payment of support or parental conflicts, Goostree Law Group can help keep you moving forward.
