Concentrating in family law, Illinois divorce lawyer Debbie Cohen passionately advocates for her clients’ rights. Her meticulous attention to detail and robust representation guarantee clients the justice and fairness that they deserve. Illinois’ no-fault divorce legislation simplifies the dissolution of marriages, but contested divorces tend to be challenging and emotionally taxing. Family lawyer Ms. Cohen is committed to providing the strong advocacy needed during such difficult situations.
Spousal maintenance, formerly known as alimony, offers financial aid that one spouse may provide to the other during or after a divorce. The duration of spousal maintenance may vary from temporary to permanent, contingent upon the unique circumstances of the marriage. Ms. Cohen can assist in navigating the complexities of filing for spousal maintenance, considering factors like income, needs, and earning potential of each party, duration of the marriage, and any prenuptial agreements.
Whether separated or divorced, Illinois law mandates that both parents contribute to their children’s upbringing. While parents can agree on child support arrangements, these must align with state guidelines. Illinois transitioned from a “percentage-based” to an “income share model” in July 2017, ensuring fair distribution of financial responsibility to each child based on each parent’s income. As an experienced divorce attorney and child support lawyer, Ms. Cohen will provide solid advocacy.
As a dedicated Divorce and Family Lawyer, Debbie Cohen understands the emotional and financial challenges inherent in divorce and child-related matters. Whether seeking prenuptial or postnuptial agreements, initiating divorce proceedings, seeking maintenance (alimony) or addressing child support concerns, Ms. Cohen is committed to equipping you with the necessary knowledge and support to navigate these decisions, advocating fiercely on your behalf in a non-judgmental and compassionate manner.
