If You Need a Divorce

At Piccione Keeley & Associates, Ltd in Wheaton, our divorce lawyers bring extensive experience in business litigation to family court. In fact, marriage is a powerful business contract, blending the personal assets and contributions of two individuals into marital property.

Our most important advice is this: Don't negotiate with your spouse on any points until you have met with your lawyer and understand what the true value of assets and long-term consequences of different options are. Let your divorce attorney begin negotiations with a clean slate. If you would like speak with one of our attorneys, contact our law office in Wheaton to make arrangements for an initial consultation.

If your marriage is coming to a painful end and there has been a break-down of trust, obviously it is necessary to work with a skilled divorce lawyer to protect your interests. Even if you foresee an amicable and reasonable dissolution of marriage, by seeking the advice of an attorney early in the process you will avoid mistakes that make the process more difficult than it has to be.

Our first work with a client includes helping in identification and valuation of marital property, including pension plans, IRAs, 401Ks, real estate, and business interests. We then help a client determine priorities regarding the division of marital property, child custody and visitation arrangements, and support payments. Our attorneys then draft a temporary agreement for a legal separation and proceed to negotiations, or, when necessary, go to trial. Our lawyers have the tools to help our client and our client's children get the best outcome possible from the process.

At our firm's offices in Wheaton, Illinois, divorce attorneys also help clients with a full range of family law matters, including paternity testing, motions for modification of child custody and support motions, and enforcement of visitation, custody, child support, or alimony.
