The Law Office of Toma Makedonski provides representation for a range of divorce-related issues:
Child custody and visitation
Child custody disputes can be one of the most emotionally charged aspects of a divorce. Attorney Makedonski works with you to create a parenting plan that reflects the best interests of your children while safeguarding your parental rights.
CHILD SUPPORT
Whether you’re receiving or paying child support, ensuring the terms are fair and consistent with Illinois law is crucial. Attorney Makedonski will advocate for payments that reflect the needs of the child and the financial realities of both parents.
PROPERTY AND ASSET DIVISION
Illinois uses equitable distribution laws, which prioritize fairness over equal division. This means factors such as the length of the marriage, contributions to assets, and future earning potential will influence property division. Attorney Makedonski is skilled at negotiating for your fair share of marital property while protecting your financial future.
SPOUSAL MAINTENANCE (ALIMONY)
When one spouse earns significantly more than the other, spousal maintenance may be necessary to ensure financial stability. Attorney Makedonski works to secure maintenance agreements that are reasonable and aligned with Illinois law, taking into account factors like the duration of the marriage and standard of living.
PRENUPTIAL AND POSTNUPTIAL AGREEMENTS
Attorney Makedonski assists couples in drafting clear, enforceable agreements to protect individual assets, businesses, or investments. These agreements can provide peace of mind, whether you’re preparing for marriage or safeguarding assets acquired during the marriage.
MODIFICATIONS AND ENFORCEMENTS
Circumstances can change after a divorce is finalized. Whether it’s a significant shift in income or non-compliance with court orders, Toma Makedonski can help modify or enforce terms related to child custody, child support, or spousal maintenance.
PROTECTIVE ORDERS
If you or your loved ones feel threatened during or after a divorce, Attorney Makedonski can assist in securing restraining orders to ensure your safety.
Contested vs. Uncontested divorces
In Illinois, divorces fall into two categories: contested and uncontested.
- Uncontested Divorces: Spouses agree on all aspects of the divorce, including property division, custody, and support. This type of divorce is typically faster and less expensive.
- Contested Divorces: Disputes arise over terms such as asset division or parenting time, requiring negotiation or court intervention.
Toma Makedonski excels in both scenarios, seeking amicable solutions whenever possible while being fully prepared to advocate for your interests in court.
