Litigation and Mediation Experience
A skilled trial attorney in family court and divorce cases, Ms. Wilson is also a licensed and experienced mediator for child custody cases. Mediation is often a more cost-effective, less time-consuming method for reaching a mutually acceptable child custody agreement. Mediation can also help members of the couple learn to communicate better and with less hostility, which can be important when they have children they will need to parent together.
Recent changes in family law in Illinois have greatly increased our firm's child-custody mediation practice. When you work with Ms. Wilson as your child custody lawyer, you will receive the support you need to develop a reasonable and fair child custody and visitation agreement through negotiation, mediation, or courtroom litigation.
We represent clients in the following issues in Illinois family law:
- Contested or uncontested divorce and legal separation
- Mediation of family law disputes
- Marital property division
- Alimony / spousal maintenance
- Child support, including post-high-school support issues and modification of child support orders
- Child custody and visitation, including modification of child custody orders and "move away" situations
- Grandparents' rights
- Domestic violence / orders of protection
- Establishment of legal paternity
We help clients with legal matters arising from their family law cases, such as the necessary changes to a will, trust, power of attorney, or living will, or defense on misdemeanor criminal charges that could arise from the family dispute, such as domestic assault charges or contempt of a child support order.
Appointments with new clients are primarily scheduled prior to 9:00 a.m. or between the hours of 3:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. Contact our Belleville law office to schedule an initial consultation.
