Providing Trustworthy Answers To Complex Questions Our clients come to us with a host of complicated questions and concerns about filing for divorce and bankruptcy in Illinois. These questions often include: Should I file for divorce and bankruptcy at the same time, or should I wait? If I file bankruptcy, will I still have to pay child support or spousal maintenance? If my ex-spouse files bankruptcy, will it also discharge my share of our joint debts? Is it better to file bankruptcy joint or single? Should I choose Chapter 7 or Chapter 13? Divorce will mean neither of us can afford the house, so how can we best eliminate obligations or deficiencies in a foreclosure or short sale? Our Illinois family law firm will gladly guide you through your concerns and provide answers to your legal questions.

If you are embroiled in a high-asset divorce, the relational tension can be intense, the legal ramifications can be far-reaching and the risk to your financial stability can be great. That is why it is vital to retain an Illinois family law lawyer who is skilled in complex property division issues. At the Law Offices of Alexandra M. Goddard , we are Barrington divorce attorneys who are committed to defending our clients' rights and interests. Alexandra M. Goddard has 40 years of experience in property division disputes and related matters, while Attorney Jessica L. Malmquist has nearly a decade of experience and an advanced degree in finance. We are available to help you locate hidden assets and make sure that you receive the fair share of marital property that you deserve. Investigating Offshore Savings Accounts, Hidden Checking Accounts and More We know that some spouses hide marital assets in an attempt to avoid dividing that money during divorce. We also know the common tactics that such individuals use. Our law firm can review all brokerage statements, tax returns, checking account statements and other financial data to help trace these hidden assets.

If you and your spouse need to work through some differences before your divorce can be finalized, but you do not want to do so in the contentious and public atmosphere of a courtroom, the assistance of a trained, neutral mediator may help you arrive at a settlement agreement. The two of you and the mediator will meet to discuss and resolve your divorce issues. Before entering into mediation, it is in your interests to consult with a lawyer to learn about your legal rights and determine whether mediation is the right approach for your case. Your attorney can also provide you with legal advice during the process when you are not engaged in the actual mediation sessions. With close to 40 years of experience helping clients resolve difficult family law issues, the Law Offices of Alexandra M. Goddard can advise you before you begin the mediation process, answer your questions during mediation and assist you after mediation by preparing all of the documents necessary for your divorce. Protecting Your Interests As You Seek A Mediated Divorce Resolution Both of the Barrington family law lawyers at our law firm have mediation training but do not usually serve as mediators.
