Law Offices of Michael A Perez

Divorce
As mentioned above, a good example of non-marital property is inheritance. If a spouse inherits money before or during the marriage and chooses to keep it in a self-titled account, this is outright non-marital property. It is good to know that in some cases, some actions might deem non-marital property to be marital, but it is entirely dependent on the actions of the owner. This is referred to as transmutation. The law regarding this particular aspect can be very complex and that is why it is important to seek legal counsel in the event of such issues. Choose a divorce attorney who is well-versed in Illinois divorce law to avoid any further complications during a dissolution of the marriage.

Child Support
Under Illinois law, both parents have a legal obligation to financially support their children, but not necessarily equally. Child support is not calculated by simply determining and splitting expenses.
Child Custody and Visitation
When the issue of divorce arises within a family, the main determining factor is often what will happen with the children. Bringing children into the divorce equation can lead to many sleepless nights of worry and concern. No parent wants to lose access to their child, and many will stay in painful marriages because they feel that it is better for their children. However, with the assistance of an experienced child custody lawyer, you can start to build a plan for your life that accounts for the happiness of your children, and your own personal happiness as well.
Adoption
Expanding your family to include an adopted child can be a challenging but extremely rewarding experience. There are many different types of adoption, including step-parent adoption, co-parent adoption, grandparent adoption, relative adoption, international adoption, and adoption from birth parents. Regardless of the type of adoption you desire to obtain, guidance and assistance from an experienced adoption lawyer can help to make this time-consuming and complex process more manageable.
Paternity
Spousal Support
I handle contested divorce matters involving all aspects of matrimonial law. This includes divorce, custody, visitation, child support, maintenance (alimony) college expenses paternity, adoptions, annulments and orders of protection. I have been practicing family law since November 1986. My experience in this area allows me to save you money and time in the end.

Probate

Bankruptcy
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy: Chapter 7, also known as “straight bankruptcy,” is chosen for the cancellation or “discharge” of most debts. The court appoints a trustee who may sell or liquidate things that you own to pay your creditors. Because many assets are exempt under state or federal law, it is often the case that you can keep your home, car & other assets.
Foreclosure
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy: Chapter 13 or “debt consolidation” as it is sometimes called, is a repayment plan which allows you to reorganize your debts while under the protection of the Bankruptcy Court. Chapter 13 is often chosen by people who may be ineligible for Chapter 7, or who need to protect their home or car from foreclosure or other collection activity.
