Whether it is a contested or uncontested divorce, we maintain strict confidentiality and have a reputation for excellence and a record of proven success.

Paternity
In Illinois, paternity cases are subjected to similar matters associated with family law including matters pertaining allocation of parental responsibilities and parenting time, and child support. Whether you are a father facing a potential paternity case, or a mother trying to establish a biological relationship as a means to secure child support, consider our family law attorneys at Scott & Scott, P.C. If you have a child born out of wedlock, without legal documentation, you may not be entitled to your parental rights in their entirety. It is best to double-check your parental rights with a qualified attorney.
Premarital Agreement
When you and your partner get married, you rarely foresee potential problems that can lead to divorce. Nevertheless, we help you anticipate any unexpected events and draft prenuptial agreements that are most likely to protect your interests and alleviate much of the stress should you ever divorce. We also contest existing prenuptial agreements where there is a potential legal defense to their enforcement.
Guardianship
We can help you gain legal guardianship of a child that is not biologically yours. You could be a stepparent adopting a child or going through adoption.
Spousal Support
As difficult as allocating parental rights and responsibilities can be, some of the most challenging aspects of these cases is figuring out the issues of child support and spousal maintenance. This is why having an experienced attorney, like the ones at Scott & Scott, P.C., are critical in fighting for you and your child’s rights. We can hear your case and ease your burden.

We offer a complete range of representation in all areas of family law. Our attorneys have extensive trial experience and have made many appearances before Appellate Courts on behalf of our clients. We address issues of both complex and simple divorce, custody and visitation (now called “allocation of parental responsibilities and parenting time”), parentage matters, child support, division of assets, business valuation, uncontested divorce, and spousal support/maintenance. We offer certified mediation services for family law issues. We provide representation for the preparation of pre-nuptial or premarital agreements, adoption matters, paternity issues and in obtaining restraining orders and orders for protection.
