Hinsdale Family Law Attorneys

Family law conflicts can take many different forms and types. Essentially, any legal dispute that involves yourself and a family member – which can include a person who is in a domestic relationship with you like a roommate – as opposing parties can constitute a family law case. You don’t need to scramble to find a law firm to handle your family law case, either. Even if your case is highly complicated, the Law Offices of Jonathan Merel in Hinsdale can take care of it.

Some of the most common family law cases that we can handle include the following and many more:

• Divorce: We can guide you through the entire divorce process, including property division, spousal support, child custody, and child support.
• Child Custody: In situations where parents cannot agree on child custody arrangements, we can help you navigate the legal system to ensure your children's best interests are protected.
• Orders of protection: If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, we can help obtain restraining orders and other legal protections to keep you safe.*
• Paternity: We can assist in establishing paternity rights and obligations for unmarried parents.
• Prenuptial agreements: Before getting married, it's important to consider prenuptial agreements. We can help draft an agreement that protects your assets in case of divorce.

If you are in immediate danger of physical violence, you should dial 911 when possible. Once you are safe, you can dial (312) 487-2795 to speak with our family lawyers.)
