How can you protect your children and, shield your assets during a divorce? Kane County divorces can be complicated by a number of factors, such as:

• You or your spouse have children under the age of 18 or other dependents under your care;
• Your marital estate is large and diverse;
• There are significant legal or financial issues regarding your estate. For instance, perhaps you're going through a foreclosure or selling your home.

No two divorce situations look alike. Fortunately, the experienced divorce attorneys at Mevorah & Giglio Law Offices have helped hundreds of clients like you resolve differences, protect their children, and distribute marital assets fairly and legally.

Approaching Your Kane County Divorce Strategically

Whether your spouse served you divorce papers or you separated amicably after months of counseling, you may be uncertain how to proceed. How will the divorce impact your financial situation, your career, your relationships, and even the direction of your life?

Feeling uncertain is natural. However, the more strategic you can be about your divorce planning, the better. The first thing our attorneys will do is to help you get clear about your options and the likely scenarios that will play out.

The process of getting a divorce begins with a petition. If you file a petition, you will be known as the plaintiff or petitioner. If your spouse files, you'll be known as the respondent or defendant.

In the petition, which goes on the public record, the petitioner lays out the reasons for the divorce - also known as the "grounds" for divorce. Illinois law allows both "fault" divorces and "no fault" divorces, also known as divorces due to irreconcilable differences. You or your spouse may pursue a fault divorce, if one of you engaged in adultery, desertion, acts of cruelty, or substance abuse or addiction, or a crime that resulted in a felony conviction.
