Areas of Law Description

Mirabella, Kincaid, Frederick & Mirabella, LLC offers legal services on the following areas of practice:

- Divorce

Our skilled and experienced divorce attorneys at Mirabella, Kincaid, Frederick, & Mirabella, P.C., know the laws of divorce, or as it is legally called, “dissolution of marriage.” During our initial consultation with potential clients, we present them with comprehensive information about the divorce process. At that time, we will discuss any issues related to custody, support, visitation, and parenting time. We inform them about the additional information that we will need to proceed with divorce proceedings.

- High Net Worth Divorce

In Illinois, which is an equitable distribution state, marital property does not have to be divided equally but rather in a manner that is fair in consideration of the circumstances. High net worth estates typically involve complex financial circumstances. Dividing these estates in a divorce requires first properly valuing the estate and characterizing assets as marital or non-marital property. Our attorneys are skilled in both valuing and characterizing marital estates. When necessary, we work with experts that specialize in the areas of appraising and accounting to ensure our clients’ interests are protected.

- Post Divorce Modification

In order to get approval for modifications to existing custody or support arrangements from the family court, the petitioner must demonstrate significant changes in family dynamics or financial circumstances. Those changes must also be long-term changes. The court will consider the best interests of the child first and foremost in most cases involving child custody, visitation and support. Our attorneys can examine the circumstances of your modification and provide a realistic evaluation of the likelihood the modification will be approved.

- Custody/Visitation

Our experienced divorce attorneys at Mirabella, Kincaid, Frederick & Mirabella, LLC, know that custody is a frequently contested issue during a divorce. Required mediation and evaluation proceedings in DuPage County allow our lawyers to identify critical issues for parents related to child custody and visitation. If custody and visitation problems are unresolved after mediation and evaluation, the matter will proceed to trial. At all times, we will advise clients about the process and educate them about their options.

- Maintenance/Alimony

Our divorce attorneys at Mirabella, Kincaid, Frederick & Mirabella, LLC, understand the complexities of spousal support. Maintenance, formerly known as alimony, is support for one divorcing spouse from the other. It is not automatically granted, and will depend on whether the facts justify such an award.

- Paternity

The first step in any paternity case is determining paternity. This can be done either through DNA testing or through the voluntary acknowledgement of both parents. In cases of contested paternity, a court order may be necessary to compel DNA testing. Our attorneys are experienced in handling both contested and uncontested paternity cases. Once paternity is positively established, additional legal matters must be settled. These include many of the same issues spouses have to determine when getting a divorce.

- Child Support

The child support lawyers at our firm understand the child support laws of Illinois. These laws are based on a formula established by statute. Individuals can get an estimate of probable child support orders by linking to a child support calculator. However, it is best to consult with a knowledgeable Illinois child support lawyer to discuss child support.

- Property Distribution

The property division attorneys at our firm are well equipped to perform the marital property distribution analysis that is required in a divorce proceeding. One of our attorneys has an accounting background, and performs much of the investigative and analytical work at Mirabella, Kincaid, Frederick & Mirabella, LLC We will do the work necessary to ensure an equitable division of property.

- Collaborative Law

“Collaborative Family Law” is the shared belief by all participants that it is in the best interests of participants and their families in typical family law matters to voluntarily commit themselves to avoiding adversarial proceedings. This conflict resolution process, which does not rely on a court-imposed resolution, but relies on an atmosphere of honesty, cooperation, integrity and professionalism, is geared toward the future well-being of the family. The goals are to maximize settlement options for the benefit of all participants, to increase the abilities of the participants to communicate in a post-divorce relationship, and to minimize, if not eliminate, the negative economic, social and emotional consequences of adversarial court proceedings to the participants and their families.

- Mediation

Joseph F. Mirabella is a certified mediator. He brings a wealth of experience, both personal and professional, to his mediation cases. Licensed to practice law in 1963 and concentrating his practice in the area of family law for more than 40 years, he is a highly qualified mediator. While a majority of Mr. Mirabella’s mediation cases are by court appointment, he also receives referrals from other family law practitioners and from pro se litigants choosing the mediation process. Joseph Mirabella’s proven success record in mediation cases makes him a logical choice for appointment or referral.

- Enforcement & Modifications

The attorneys at our firm, Mirabella, Kincaid, Frederick & Mirabella, LLC, are aggressive about collecting child support. Once child support has been ordered, it is legally binding upon the spouse paying child support. Our attorneys use all of the legal avenues available to them to enforce child support orders for our clients. They employ techniques such as obtaining citations to discover assets, freezing bank accounts, seizing assets to pay the child support debt—all of which encourages the delinquent parent to pay child support.

- Sexual Harassment

Our attorneys are sensitive to the very real trauma caused by sexual harassment on the job. Sexual harassment can take many forms, but there are only two kinds under Illinois law. One is when a boss or someone in authority requests an unwanted sexual or other inappropriate relationship in return for on-the-job benefits, such as promotion or salary increase. The other kind of sexual harassment is the creation and the persistence of a hostile work environment.

- Employment Discrimination

The most common types of employment discrimination are gender discrimination and racial discrimination. Our attorneys at Mirabella, Kincaid, Frederick & Mirabella, LLC, have handled other types of discrimination claims, such as age, religion, disability status, and national origin. There are many ways an employment discrimination case can be filed, and a number of applicable statutes, depending on exactly what happened to you.
