Practice Areas Description
Law Offices of George M. Sanders, P.C. can provide personal care in all family law matters, including:- Divorce
Divorce is always a challenging matter. The situation can be compounded if there are large amounts of property that are difficult to value. Privately owned businesses, professional practices, premarital property, retirement funds, property owned out of state, and real estate are among the pieces that can add to the complexity of a divorce. The existence of a pre-marital agreement can also raise difficult issues that complicate a case. I can put my 18 years of experience to work resolving complex divorce issues effectively and efficiently. I can help you.
- Property Division
Division of marital property is a process that involves many different components. The first step is identifying marital property which is typically all property acquired during the marriage. Gifts and inheritances given to one spouse are generally considered separate property. When marital property includes family-owned businesses or complex securities, valuation of assets is both a crucial undertaking and a complicated undertaking. Equitable division of property also takes into account marital debt and tax implications. As your Chicago property division lawyer, I will work with you to make sure that assets are properly valued and divided fairly.
- Spousal Maintenance
Spousal maintenance laws, also known as alimony, can help you protect your quality of life. If you are like many people going through a divorce, one of your primary concerns is whether or not you will be able to maintain the same quality of life or, on the other hand, that you will have to pay too much to your spouse. I will work to protect your right to the financial support to which you are entitled. I have an education background in economics and finance. I will use my legal experience and educational background to pursue a financial arrangement that makes sense for you.
- Child Custody and Visitation
I can handle all aspects of your child custody and parenting time (or visitation) case. I will take the time to learn about the needs of you and your children and what it is that you think is best for your children. When I build your case, I will build it around those needs. Your case will be specifically designed to get what you believe is right for your children. Legal solutions are not one-size-fits-all. When you choose me to represent you, I will put all of the knowledge and experience I have gained in 20 years of practicing law to work helping you get the results you need.
- Child Support
The child support formulas provided by state guidelines are only as good as the information the court receives regarding each parent's income and assets. From hidden income, income from assets and imputed income, I will work hard to ensure that all of the facts are accounted for in the calculation of child support. Further, the guideline levels of child support are not appropriate in every case. I will work with you to determine the appropriate levels of child support in your case based on your circumstances. In addition to my knowledge of the law, my educational background includes economics and finance. I have the experience and skills needed to help you with the financial issues involved in child support matters.
- Post Judgment Modification
In a divorce, the initial decision is not always the end of the line. Under certain circumstances, you can seek to modify the judgment that was entered in your case, including the provisions dealing with child support, visitation, or custody. This modification can be due to changes in financial status or lifestyle. What was best for your child at one point in time may not be best for your child at another. I can help you seek the changes necessary to ensure the safety and comfort of your child.
- Pre-nuptial Agreements
Prenuptial agreements are basically contractual agreements between two people outlining the process to be followed should they divorce at some time in the future. These agreements are generally honored by Illinois courts. However, under Illinois law, prenuptial agreements cannot cover child support or child custody issues, including attorney fees that are part of child custody or support battles. For example, the agreement cannot dictate what will be paid in child support or arrange for visitation. Rather, premarital agreements can address only financial issues.
