Frequently Asked Questions About Family Law

What family law matters does Wilbrandt Legal handle?

Wilbrandt Legal assists clients with a variety of family law matters, including divorce, child custody, parenting time, child support, spousal maintenance, property division, and uncontested divorce proceedings.

An uncontested divorce occurs when both parties agree on major issues such as property division, parenting arrangements, and support. A contested divorce involves disputes that may require negotiation, mediation, or court intervention to resolve.
The timeline for a divorce depends on the complexity of the case and whether the matter is contested or uncontested. Uncontested divorces are generally resolved more quickly, while contested matters may take longer depending on court schedules and negotiations.
Collaborative divorce is a process where both parties work together with their attorneys to resolve issues outside of court in a respectful and cooperative manner. This approach often reduces stress, costs, and conflict while helping families reach practical long-term solutions.

Illinois courts determine parental responsibilities and parenting time based on the best interests of the child. Factors may include the child’s needs, each parent’s involvement, living arrangements, and the ability of the parents to cooperate in decision-making.

Some family law matters can be resolved with minimal court involvement, especially uncontested cases. However, more complex disputes involving custody, finances, or contested issues may require court appearances.
Illinois follows equitable distribution laws, meaning marital property is divided fairly based on factors such as income, contributions to the marriage, financial circumstances, and the length of the marriage.
Family law matters often involve emotional and financial challenges that can significantly affect your future. An experienced attorney can help protect your rights, explain your legal options clearly, and guide you through the process with professionalism and compassion.
