Child Custody ◊ Visitation ◊ Child Support ◊ Parenting Time
If you are considering divorce or are already a party to divorce, and there are minor children involved, a variety of difficult legal issues may need to be addressed, including child custody or parenting time, as well as child support. You want a lawyer who understands the law and the process, as well as your rights and options, one who has successfully worked with others in similar circumstances.
At the office of attorney Elizabeth A. Call, in Park Forest, Illinois, I have focused my practice on family law matters for the last 7 years, handling a broad range of issues related to child custody/parenting time and child support. I place a premium on personal service and accessibility. When you hire me to handle your case, you will always work directly with me, never with a paralegal or an associate. I answer my phone evenings and weekends whenever possible, and will promptly return your calls or e-mails if I am unavailable at the time.
For a free initial consultation, contact my office by e-mail or call me at 708-260-8487 (toll free at 888-493-8916).
Handling Divorce Issues involving Children
I will help you establish and put in place custody and visitation arrangements (parenting time in Indiana) that are in the best interests of your children while protecting your rights as parents. I will make certain you understand the difference between sole custody and joint custody, so that you are allowed to participate in decisions about the well-being of your child, if you so choose.
I can also help men seek primary custody of minor children, contrary to the popular (and erroneous) belief that courts always give custody to the mother.
In Indiana, child support is calculated based on a formula provided by the state, which factors in income of both parties. In Illinois, it is simply a straight percentage of the non-custodial parent's income. In either circumstance, I will review any proposed child support order of compliance with state guidelines and to confirm that all income is properly included.
I work with men and women at all stages of a child custody or child support matter, whether you seek temporary custody and visitation while a divorce is pending, or you need post-judgment modification or enforcement of an existing child custody or child support order.
