### How do I get started with a divorce or family law matter?

The consultation establishes an understanding of your concerns and the foundation for how to proceed, including filing for divorce or a thoughtful settlement before court.

### What is maintenance (alimony) and how long does it last?
Maintenance - formerly known as alimony - may apply to a spouse who has been home raising children or who has a lower earning capacity. The court's determination is twofold: first whether support is appropriate, and then the amount and duration based on the circumstances of the marriage.

### What financial information should I prepare for a divorce?
It helps to understand your monthly expenses, financial needs and the standard of living developed during the marriage, along with the value of your property, investments and any business interests. The Illinois Financial Affidavit can help you identify your assets, liabilities and expenses.
