Trusted Oak Park Counsel for All Types of Divorce Cases

Divorce is rarely a simple matter. While some are easier to resolve than others, almost every case will include its share of challenges. At The Law Offices of Curtis Bennett Ross, LLC, our goal is to help you obtain the best outcome possible while fully protecting your rights along the way. Our team is prepared to assist you with:

• Uncontested divorce: An uncontested divorce is one in which the spouses have reached an agreement on most of the relevant issues before the divorce petition is filed. We can help you streamline the process and avoid costly mistakes.
• Contested divorce: A contested divorce may require extensive litigation and a trial to resolve. Our team will work with you at every stage of the proceedings to ensure that your rights and best interests are fully protected.
• Divorce involving complex finances: When one or both spouses have a high income or significant wealth, a divorce can quickly become complicated. We help with managing real estate, family businesses, retirement investments, and tax obligations related to the divorce.
• Same-sex divorce: Same-sex couples are entitled to the same protections under the law as opposite-sex couples are, but there may be additional considerations in a same-sex divorce. Our compassionate team can assist you in meeting such challenges head-on.
• Legal separation: For some couples, obtaining a legal separation can provide a measure of security while divorce proceedings are pending. Others may choose legal separation instead of divorce for personal or financial reasons.

Family law attorney Curtis Bennett Ross is also a Certified Public Accountant, and he has been court-appointed as a financial expert in many contested divorce cases. With his background and extensive training, he fully understands the financial aspects of divorce. He and his team can help you address concerns such as property and debt division, spousal support/alimony, and post-decree modifications.

Child-Related Issues in Divorce

At the Law Offices of Curtis Bennett Ross, LLC, we also handle a full range of child-related considerations associated with divorce. Mr. Ross is a court approved guardian ad litem and child's representative for Cook County, which means that he has undergone extensive training relevant to protecting children in family law disputes. He also played a significant role in drafting many of the family law statutes in Illinois as part of the Illinois State Bar Association's Family Law Section Council. Mr. Ross and his team can help you protect your child's best interests in matters related to:

• Allocating parental responsibilities (child custody), including sole and joint parenting arrangements
• Parenting time, also known as visitation
• Child support, including non-minor support for college expenses
• Parental relocations

At our firm, we recognize that negotiated agreements are often the best option for parents who are getting divorced. We will work hard to facilitate an arrangement—either through mediation or direct negotiations—that keeps both parents active in the child's life without compromising your rights. In many cases, however, an amicable agreement is not possible. If litigation is necessary, we will fight hard on your behalf in the courtroom as well.
