Family law is that area of the legal profession that focuses largely, though not entirely on matters related to the family. These include matters such as divorce, the division of property, and child custody, among others.
In Winnebago County, we may be a little off the beaten path of urban life in Illinois, but as lawyers practicing family law, the experienced attorneys at Crosby & Crosby know that life can get complicated and take many unexpected turns, no matter where you live. Sadly, marriages that once started with great promise can end, meaning that vital, sometimes life-alter decisions have to be made regarding matters like child custody and the equitable division of property.
When life takes these unexpected turns, you need the assistance and support of an experienced family law attorney. When you contact the law office of Crosby & Crosby, that is exactly what you will get, attorneys who will work with you and guide you through some of life’s most challenging circumstances.
Family Law and Children’s Issues
In matters related to family law, children are not always involved, but when they are, their welfare is given the highest priority. In Illinois courts, judges are well aware of this priority, and they make every effort to protect the welfare of any children involved in cases that come before them. Whether it’s a divorce, a non-marital relationship that led to the birth of children, or the adoption of a child, the standard and first consideration is always “what is best for the children.”
At Crosby & Crosby Law, we stand with the courts in support of this standard. Consequently, in family law matters involving children, we will always work with our clients to arrive at settlements that we feel are in the best interests of those children, including custody and child support.
Family Law and Property Issues
Whether there are children or not, the division of property will almost always be an issue in a divorce. Contrary to what you may have heard in the past, during divorce proceedings, all property involved, including real estate, will be known to both parties.
Whatever the specific circumstances of a case, if you seek legal representation from Crosby & Crosby, you can be assured that during discovery (the phase of a lawsuit during which each party can ask for full disclosure from the opposing party), our attorneys will work relentlessly to obtain all the pertinent information needed to assist you in reaching a satisfactory settlement.
