Family Law

Chicago Divorce Lawyer and DuPage County Family Law Attorney

While many people think of family law as focusing on divorce and marital dissolution issues, there are many other aspects to family law.

At Steven Mevorah & Associates, we represent clients in the full spectrum of family law matters, including:

• Divorce
• Child custody and visitation
• Child support
• Spousal support (alimony)
• Division of marital assets
• Post-decree modifications to support and visitation
• Prenuptial agreements
• Living together contracts (also known as cohabitation agreements)
• Paternity
• Adoption

There are also various issues regarding martial property that may arise even if a couple is not divorcing.

Divorce And Related Issues

At Steven H. Mevorah & Associates, we understand the complex and intense emotional effects that divorce can have on the parties and those around them. However, we try to help our clients see beyond the emotions surrounding divorce and envision a better future for themselves and their children. Our counsel has as its chief objective the protection of the client’s rights and interests, and those of any children in the family.

Adoption

Adopting a child is a wonderful experience, providing a family with a new member and a loving home for a child in need. However, the adoption process can be legally complex, and issues sometimes arise if the birth parents want to be involved in the child's life after the adoption. At the Law Offices of Steven H. Mevorah & Associates, we assist clients in completing the work necessary for adoptions and in drafting agreements between adoptive and birth parents in both open and closed adoptions.

Paternity

Paternity is a complex area of the law, often more complex than people might think. At the Law Offices of Steven H. Mevorah & Associates, we can assist you in filing or defending against an action for paternity, a suit in court that can be brought by either the mother or the father. DNA tests can rule out paternity with 100% accuracy, and determine paternity with 99.99% accuracy. Paternity affects not only the father's rights to see his child, but also his obligation to support that child.

Prenuptial Agreements

Prenuptial agreements are one of the simplest and best ways to avoid excess litigation over property settlements in the event of a divorce. At the Law Offices of Steven H. Mevorah & Associates, we are experienced in drafting prenuptial agreements and devising an equitable solution to property distribution issues.
