Experienced Divorce and Family Law Representation

Property Division Lawyers For Chicago And Cook County

In a divorce, there are many financial items that must be taken into consideration. Property division is oftentimes the most contested issue in a divorce. Each spouse has contributed in some way to the family’s finances. Some may have been primary breadwinners. Others may have provided emotional support and stayed home with the children.

Regardless of how you contributed to the marriage and the family home, you want your contribution and your investment to be recognized.

If you have decided to divorce in Chicago or Cook County, you need experienced representation so that your financial investment in your marriage can be protected.

If you have a prenuptial agreement or want to challenge one — again, skilled and aggressive advocacy is necessary for positive results.

Whenever precious marital assets and property are in play, and especially in high net worth divorces, the law firm you can count on for aggressive safeguarding of your interests is O'Connor Family Law, P.C., asset division lawyers in Chicago.

Our lawyers will do whatever is necessary, legally, to guarantee your smooth transition to a brighter post-divorce future. We have more than 26 years of combined experience and understand how property division has a direct impact on that transition.

A Thorough Assessment Of Your Assets

We investigate your finances individually and as a couple, access the services of forensic accountants who take a careful look into the possibility of hidden assets, and work hard to mediate, negotiate or litigate resolutions you can live with when any combinations of these holdings are at stake during your Illinois divorce:

  • Real estate — primary, vacation and retirement residences, rental properties, and undeveloped land
  • Deferred income
  • Retirement income
  • Stocks, stock options and bonds
  • Bank accounts
  • Collectibles and memberships
  • Inheritances
  • Businesses

In many instances, it takes years and years — if not decades — for a married couple to accumulate property and assets. You may have had many shared dreams about owning a vacation home, owning a family business or growing your investments. While that was happening, you may have been growing further away from your spouse. As you are dividing assets, you want a law firm that understands the time, energy and money that you have put into building your dreams. We can now help you move forward to the next chapter of your life with a firm grasp on many of those dreams you once had. We can help you maintain as much of your property, asset and wealth as possible.
