Whether you’re going through a divorce or seeking a post-decree modification, Attorney Arkady Reifman provides clear, compassionate legal guidance designed to protect your rights while focusing on what matters most—your child’s best interests.
With convenient office locations in Schaumburg and Northbrook, we represent parents throughout Cook, Lake, and DuPage Counties in all types of custody matters.
In Illinois, child custody is now legally referred to as “parental responsibilities” and “parenting time.”
If you and the other parent can agree, you have the opportunity to develop a parenting plan that outlines how you’ll share responsibilities and time. Once approved by the court, this becomes legally enforceable.
If an agreement can’t be reached, the court will step in to decide based on what’s in the best interests of the child—a standard that includes many factors, such as the stability of each home, the child’s needs, and the ability of each parent to cooperate.
Custody concerns often begin before the divorce is finalized. In these situations, temporary custody orders may be needed to establish parenting time and decision-making authority during the divorce process.
Attorney Reifman helps clients obtain fair temporary arrangements while positioning their case for a strong final custody judgment or settlement.
Illinois courts consider a number of factors when determining how to allocate parental responsibilities and parenting time. These include:
Whether you’re pursuing joint custody or seeking sole decision-making authority, Reifman Law Offices will help you present a thoughtful, well-documented case that supports your position.
Parenting time is typically shared, but it doesn’t always mean a 50/50 split. A parenting plan may give one parent the majority of time while ensuring the other has regular access.
Reifman Law Offices can help you navigate challenging parenting time issues, including:
