Illinois Property Settlement & Maintenance Lawyer
At Michael T. Mahoney, Ltd., our goal in any divorce case is to make certain that our clients receive a fair and equitable property settlement; and, if appropriate, maintenance award.
There are numerous factors to be considered when determining what constitutes a fair and equitable property settlement and/or maintenance award which include, but are not necessarily limited to, the following factors:
1. The contribution of each party to the acquisition, preservation or increase or decrease in value of the marital or non-marital property including the contribution of a spouse as a homemaker.
2. The dissipation by each party of the marital or non-marital property.
3. The value of the non-marital property assigned to each spouse.
4. The duration of the marriage.
5. The relevant economic circumstances of each spouse when the division of marital property is to become effective including the desirability of awarding the family home or the right to live therein for longer periods to the spouse having custody of the children.
6. The income of each party after the divorce.
7. The standard of living established during the marriage.
8. The age and physical and emotional condition of both parties.
9. The tax consequences of the property division upon the respective economic circumstances of the parties.
To property consider all of the above factors and any other relevant factors is a very complicated process that requires an experienced family law attorney to guide the client through that process. We have 30 years of experience in helping our clients navigate these difficult issues.
