Division of Property
Illinois is an “equitable division” state, which means that the marital property is divided according to what is fair, rather than equally.
Child Custody and Support
Child-related issues may arise within a context of divorce, post-decree litigation, or as a result of a non-marital relationship. In either scenario, such issues are multifaceted and emotionally charged.
Post-Decree
Divorce decree, once entered, is considered final and biding. However, certain aspects, such as maintenance and support, and allocation of parental responsibility and parenting time may be modified.
Prenuptial Agreement
As we enter the twenty-first century, many couples delay marriage until later in life. As a result, significant assets may have been accumulated by one or both parties by the time they are ready to say their marital vows.
Orders of Protection
Orders of protection are orders issued by the court to protect one family member or household member from the actions of another member. They are governed by the Illinois Domestic Violence Act.

Testimonials
”I’d seen multiple lawyers when going through a difficult, highly acrimonious divorce, some were better than others. Sofia is an excellent lawyer. She is strategic in her approach, very thorough, knowledgeable, well researched, and always prepared. She represented me in a post-divorce case related to child support against one of the best law firms in Chicago. She stood her ground and did an impressive job negotiating the best possible outcome for me. I have great respect for her and recommend her without hesitation.

”I had a very complicated situation and Sofia helped me every step of the way. She was incredibly patient, kind, and responsive. She gave me not just valuable advice but also a peace of mind. Being able to communicate in both English and Russian was also extremely helpful. I am in great hands with her going through the worst experience of my life thus far. I appreciate the guidance Sofia gave me and highly recommend her to all my friends.

”Sofia was a hope to me at a time when my options appeared limited, and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed nigh on impossible. I am eternally grateful for her services, and I hereby recommend her without reservation.
