Divorce and Property Considerations

According to leading mental health experts, divorce is one of the most stressful experiences a person will ever endure. The end of any romantic relationship is always difficult, but divorce is more than a breakup. It also represents the process through which you and your spouse must separate the life that you may have spent many years building together. For most couples, this means finding solutions to a number of financial and property-related matters.

Under Illinois law, divorcing spouses are each entitled to an equitable share of the couple's marital property. Determining what is "equitable," however, is a common point of contention. Our attorneys will work with you to identify, evaluate, and divide marital property fairly between you and your spouse. Through negotiation, mediation, or, if necessary, litigation, we will ensure that your rights are fully protected throughout the process.

McSwain Rapp Law, LLC can also help you petition for spousal support as part of your divorce. Spousal support, also called maintenance or alimony, is intended to help offset the financial impact of a divorce on a lower-earning or stay-at-home spouse. Our goal is to get you the resources you need to move on to the next chapter of your life.
