Client Testimonials

Christi M.

Kevin's firm handled setting up my will and trust recently. They took something that seemed intimidating and made it easy to understand. I've also referred a couple clients to Kevin - he's trustworthy, approachable and very fairly priced.

Solutions For Divorce

Divorce is never a simple solution that fits all, because no two families are the same. At O’Flaherty Law, we help our Elgin clients understand their options and formulate practical solutions that are in line with their goals. Whether you and your spouse are on the same page about every issue or you expect major disagreements, our attorneys work to protect your interests and keep you up-to-date throughout the process.

Couples who are in agreement on property division, parenting responsibilities, support and other key issues may be able to settle their case more efficiently with an uncontested divorce. A contested divorce may require the court to resolve disputes over finances, children, or other important issues through negotiation, mediation, or litigation. We are ready to protect your interests at all stages.

Illinois Divorce and Legal Separation: What You Should Know

Illinois is a no-fault divorce state, which means that a marriage can be dissolved based on irreconcilable differences. During divorce proceedings the court can address issues related to parental responsibilities, parenting time, child support, spousal support and the division of marital property and debts. Each case is different and you need experienced legal advice from the start.

Some couples choose to legally separate rather than divorce. Legal separation allows spouses to live apart while remaining married. This may be a good option for people who have religious, financial, insurance or personal reasons to wait on a divorce but want court orders for support, parenting arrangements or other important issues.
