Answers to Questions Fathers Ask Before Reaching Out

Illinois law does not favor either parent based on gender, the standard is always "the best interests of the child". In practice, however, fathers who don't have experienced legal representation often end up with less parenting time than the law would support. Our firm's entire focus is ensuring fathers understand their rights and have aggressive, knowledgeable counsel to enforce them.

Every case is different in scope and complexity. Our firm handles cases ranging from contested custody matters to high-net-worth divorces involving significant business and financial assets. Fees reflect the level of representation required. The best way to understand what your case would involve is to request a confidential case review. There's no obligation, and we'll give you a straightforward picture of what to expect.

Yes, and this is one of the most consequential issues in high-asset divorce. Illinois is an "equitable distribution" state, meaning marital assets are divided fairly, not necessarily equally. Depending on how your business is structured and when it was founded or grew in value, a portion may be subject to division. Early legal intervention before divorce proceedings accelerate is critical for business owners. Our firm has extensive experience in asset protection strategies and working with financial experts during complex divorce litigation.

Paternity and fathers' rights are core practice areas for this firm. In Illinois, an unmarried father has no automatic legal rights to custody or parenting time until paternity is legally established. Once it is, you have the same rights as any other parent. We routinely represent never-married fathers in establishing paternity, securing parenting time, and modifying existing orders when circumstances change.

Any licensed family law attorney can handle a divorce. A fathers' rights attorney specifically understands the procedural and advocacy gaps that leave many fathers underrepresented and fights to close them. Jeffery M. Leving has built an entire career and a nationally recognized brand around this distinction. If your custody or parenting relationship is at stake, that difference matters.
