"During this COVID-19 crisis, we continue to provide collaborative family law services for divorce, post-decree, pre and postnuptial, and parentage matters. The collaborative method is not affected by the temporary closure of Illinois courts, as all negotiations are done outside of the court process. We are also able to have these collaborative settlement meetings through audio/video meeting technology. This will allow us to abide by the Federal and State guidelines for "social distancing" while continuing to move your case to full and final resolution. Of course, as always, we continue to provide free initial consultations, which can be performed using that same technology. We look forward to serving you." -- Lawrence Manassa

Barrington Same-Sex Divorce Lawyer

As of June 1, 2014, same-sex marriage is an option for couples in Illinois. For some couples, however, that also means they will likely have to go through the divorce process for the first time in their lives.

By being given full recognition as married couples by the state and federal governments, the divorce process for same-sex couples will be much the same as it is for heterosexual couples. That means obtaining skilled legal representation to protect your rights and interests will be essential.

At Manassa Bojczuk, P.C., we can help. With locations in Barrington, Crystal Lake, Deerfield and more throughout the region, our lawyers can guide you through this stressful time and help you address all the issues related to same-sex divorce, including:

• Child custody

• Child support

• Spousal maintenance

• Property division

Helping You Find A Resolution That Meets Your Needs

For some couples, it is simply impossible to be able to work together. In those cases, it will be necessary for litigation to resolve their issues. For couples who can work together amicably and wish to maintain control over their divorce, our firm is also skilled at other forms of dispute resolution, including mediation and collaborative divorce.

As our client, you can count on working directly with an experienced divorce attorney who will learn all the details of your situation and your goals and help you figure out the best way to navigate through the divorce process. You can have peace of mind knowing that we will come up with a plan that best protects your interests.

While same-sex divorce will look much the same as opposite-sex divorce, that does not mean that you will not have questions. For help, turn to Manassa Bojczuk, P.C. To schedule a free consultation, contact us online or call 847-221-5511.
