This local insight allows us to navigate your case with a level of efficiency and effectiveness that other firms cannot match.
Frequently Asked Questions for Barrington Divorce Cases
Where will my divorce case be filed if I live in Barrington?
Because Barrington is primarily in Cook County, your case will almost certainly be filed at the Rolling Meadows courthouse, which is the venue for the Third Municipal District of the Cook County Circuit Court.
How are business assets handled in a high-net-worth divorce?
A business owned during the marriage is a marital asset that must be professionally valued. The division of that value can be accomplished in several ways, including one spouse buying out the other’s interest, or structuring a settlement that awards other assets of equivalent value. This requires skilled legal and financial analysis.
Is my privacy protected during a divorce?
While court filings are generally public record, we take every possible step to protect our clients’ privacy. We often utilize confidential settlement methods like mediation and can seek to have sensitive financial documents sealed by the court to shield them from public view.
