Meet Our Family Law Attorneys

You may never have expected to be involved in a family law case. Almost no one gets married planning to get divorced or has children planning to leave the other parent. Family members who step up to become guardians or adoptive parents after a relative with children passes away rarely expect this to happen. The fact is, anyone can become a party in a family law case. When you must go to court to get divorced, establish paternity, or fight for custody of your child, you deserve an experienced and strategic attorney.

SpyratosDavis LLC has many years of experience with family law cases of all types. We have encountered an incredible variety of cases in our careers, from highly contentious and complex divorces to highly contested guardianship proceedings. First, we will talk with you to learn more about your preferences and priorities. We will develop an individualized strategy designed to meet your needs based on what you tell us is most important to you.

Divorce Attorneys in DuPage County

Divorce does not have to be as stressful as it is often made out to be. Our attorneys often recommend divorce mediation to help spouses settle their divorces out of court. If you and your spouse can reach an agreement about every issue in your case, you can likely get divorced rather quickly and cost-effectively.

Our attorneys will work through each issue strategically, from division of property to a parenting plan. We will focus on your most important goals, and we will do all we can to reach a resolution you are happy with. If your case must go to court, our highly experienced litigators will aggressively advocate for your interests.

Chicago Area Child Custody Attorneys

Child custody can be a highly contentious issue, as most parents are reluctant to give up time with their children. A parenting plan can be established as part of a divorce, or a child custody case can be brought on its own by unmarried parents.

In most cases, parenting plans can be made through agreements between the parents. If this is not possible, the court will decide on a parenting time schedule and parental responsibilities based on what is in the child's best interests.

Paternity and Parentage Lawyers in Lisle

Every child has a biological father, but not every child has a legal father or other parent. If you believe that you are the father or other parent of a child but are not named on the birth certificate, there are steps an attorney can take to have you officially declared a parent to your child. Parents can pursue parenting time and other parental rights after establishing paternity.

Mothers can also initiate parentage proceedings. Often, mothers seek to have their child's father or other parent legally identified so that they can pursue the child support to which their child is entitled.

Adoption and Guardianship of Minor Children

Adopting a child or becoming the legal guardian of a child is a major life change. Adoption means becoming a child's permanent legal parent. Guardianship means that you are responsible for the child's care and have many of the same rights a parent would, such as being able to register the child for school or sign a medical consent on their behalf. Unlike adoption, guardianship is sometimes temporary.

Post-Decree Modifications Attorneys

If you are already divorced, but your circumstances have changed, you may be eligible for a post-decree modification. A major life change often means that the original divorce decree is no longer practicable. Relevant life changes include things like gaining or losing income, relocating, or a change in health status.

Domestic Violence and Orders of Protection

In situations where abuse has occurred or where someone is worried that their spouse or unmarried partner, the other parent of their child, or another member of their family may take actions to harm them or their children, steps may be taken to protect against domestic violence and address related family law issues. Our attorneys can help pursue orders of protection in these cases while ensuring that a person will be able to leave an abusive relationship and provide for the needs of themselves and their children.
