Comprehensive Legal Support For Your Family’s Needs

We offer a wide range of services designed to protect your interests and the well-being of your children. For Lake County families, protecting marital assets and property values is a critical component of any dissolution. Therefore, we assist our clients through every stage of the legal process, ensuring that transitions are handled with the expertise that has earned founding attorney Shyama Parikh the Super Lawyer distinction and the respected 30-year tenure of Attorney Jean Schroeder.

Our family law services include:

  • Divorce and dissolution: We manage all aspects of divorce, including agreed or uncontested divorce. We also handle legal separation matters and the dissolution of civil unions. We aim for an equitable division of marital assets and liabilities to protect your financial future.
  • Child-related matters: We prioritize the best interests of children in cases involving child support, child custody (allocation of parental responsibilities) and parenting time. We understand that Lake County residents value stability, and we work to ensure your parenting plan reflects your family’s unique needs.

  • Paternity and parentage: Formalizing a legal relationship between a parent and child is the first step for securing rights to support and visitation (parenting time). We help parents establish legal parentage to ensure their children receive the benefits they deserve.

  • Mediation and negotiation: For many couples, an agreed or uncontested divorce is the most efficient path forward. We provide the legal framework to ensure these agreements are fair, legally binding and sustainable for both parties.

By offering personalized strategies for each of these areas, we ensure that our clients have the information and support they need to make the best decisions for their households. We take a personable and friendly approach to every case, recognizing that behind every legal file is a person looking for a fresh start or a more secure family structure.
