Geneva, IL Divorce Attorneys

Geneva Family Law Firm for Child Custody, Property Division, and Other Divorce Matters

At Serrano Hanson & Hurtado, LLC, family law – including divorce – is a primary focus of our practice. We know that divorce is a challenging, overwhelming, and emotional time in the lives of our clients. We are in tune with the needs of our clients as they go through the steps required to file for and eventually finalize a divorce in Illinois. While no one goes into marriage intending to end up in divorce court, we strive to make this process less difficult for our clients.

Common Divorce Issues

As experienced and knowledgeable divorce attorneys, our team is prepared to handle any of the issues that may arise over the course of divorce proceedings. We draw on our experience as we discuss each client's specific situation, identifying their goals and plotting a strategy to ensure that as many of those goals as possible can be accomplished.

Some of the most common matters that arise for our divorce clients include the following:

• Alimony and Maintenance. Figuring out if you may receive support payments or what you might be required to pay is a complex matter dependent on many factors.
• Property Division. Understanding the difference between marital and non-marital property can save you time and stress during divorce proceedings.
• Child Custody. After a divorce, both parents are entitled to reasonable parenting time. However, when deciding how parental responsibility will be shared and when children will spend time with each parent, the courts will always base their decision on the child's best interest.
• Child Support. When one parent has the majority of the parenting time, the other may have to pay child support, even if the parents share joint custody.
• Mediation. If you and your spouse are looking to settle disagreements outside of court without expensive litigation, mediation can be a preferable alternative. A judge may also order mandatory mediation if the divorce proceedings reach a standstill.

While there are general guidelines and legal precedents for each of these issues, there is also a great range of legally acceptable solutions to them as well. Our attorneys will help you understand the options and the most likely scenarios for each of these concerns, so that you have realistic expectations as you move forward in your life. With over 50 years of combined experience in family law, we come prepared to address any of your divorce problems.

Compassionate, Knowledgeable, and Comprehensive Representation

We understand that this process is fraught with emotions, and we seek to serve as sound, logical, and reliable advocates for our clients. Each of our attorneys is dedicated to providing the highest level of service to our clients, both in terms of legal knowledge and personal commitment.

Additionally, our attorneys are able to serve as Guardians ad Litem when necessary for minors involved in divorce proceedings. We are dedicated to ensuring that the best interests of the children are protected, and we have taken the necessary steps to ensure that we can provide the advocacy needed. We also know that even in the best-case scenario, life does not always go as planned, and a divorce decree may need to be changed as issues arise. We provide assistance with post-decree modification and enforcement to clients who need help after their divorce is final.
