The Diamond Legal team was outstanding! Every single person that works at that firm that I worked with was supportive, kind and understanding. I would get calls out of the blue with an update of where we were in the process, as well as confirming if I had any questions or needed any support.” I always felt like they were on my side.”

What are my options for divorce in Illinois?

Because every situation is different, there are different options open to you. Some are more involved (and can cost more) while others are relatively simple (and cost less). Take a look at the options below to see which best fits your needs.

Contested Divorce

 

 

Uncontested divorce is an option for spouses who agree on everything (or almost everything) for their divorce. This includes things like division of assets, custody and parental responsibilities, parenting schedules, child support, and maintenance or alimony.

It is technically possible to handle your uncontested divorce yourself, but we don’t recommend it. Even when you agree, divorce is still a very complicated process, and having the advice of an experienced attorney can save you a lot of time and money down the road.

Uncontested divorce is a simpler and faster process, and because no litigation is usually needed, we offer a flat rate service that may be as low as $4,500.

Limited Scope

 

Some clients aren’t ready for full representation yet, either because they’re early on in their case or because of financial restraints.

We completely understand, and we want everyone to have access to the legal help they need.

This is why we offer Limited Scope. This program allows you access to an experienced family law attorney – so when you have questions, you can bring them to someone who will give you the answers you need.

Many of our Limited Scope clients later choose to move to either an uncontested divorce flat fee service or a full representation retainer, and this can be done quickly and easily. Our Limited scope services may be able to start with a retainer as low as $1,500.

What is included in our services?

Of course, you’ll receive top-notch legal services and a team that is ready to protect your family,
your assets, and your rights.

But at Diamond Legal, we don’t stop there. We know what you’ll be going through,
and we’re here to guide you through it.
