We Help Families Transition to the Next Stage of Their Lives

Family lawyer Roger Stelk is sensitive to the personal nature of what you are going through, and recognizes the impact that the outcome of your case will have on your life, now and in the future.

Divorce

Getting through the Illinois divorce process without consulting with Chicago divorce attorneys could be one of the most costly mistakes a divorcing spouse can make. With so much on the line, you need a divorce lawyer to help you navigate the important legal decisions in front of you and make sure your rights are protected. Whether you are considering filing for divorce, or you have been served with papers by your spouse, we can help. Let us guide you through the divorce process, whether it be dividing marital assets, seeking spousal support, or resolving conflicts with parenting time and parental responsibilities. With more than 30 years of experience representing Illinois families, experienced divorce attorney Roger Stelk has helped countless families achieve their goals.  

Child Custody and Child Support

Creating the child custody and visitation plan is often one of the most contentious aspects of divorce cases for Arlington Heights, IL, residents. Our law firm provides legal assistance to help you protect your child’s best interests, preserve your parental rights, and achieve your legal goals. As one of the best family law attorneys in the Chicago area, Roger brings courtroom experience, personal attention, knowledge, and skill to the table to achieve the best outcome for you and your family.

Post-Judgment Modifications

Life circumstances often shift significantly in the years after a divorce case is settled. Illinois divorce lawyers often see ex-spouses remarry, incomes increase or decrease, and the needs of minor children change. These changes frequently impact spousal support, child support, and the allocation of parenting time and parental responsibilities (child custody and visitation). If adjustments to your divorce decree are in order, family law attorney Roger Stelk will help you seek a modification from the court to your existing custody, visitation, or support orders.
