Plainfield Civil Union Dissolution Attorneys

Civil Union Dissolution Lawyers Serving Kendall County

On June 1^st, 2011 the Illinois Religious Freedom and Civil Union Act (750 ILCS 75/) was passed, which granted same-sex couples as well as heterosexual couples the ability to enter into a civil union with most of the same legal protections, rights, and obligations at the state level as married couples enjoy. Just as some marriages end in divorce, however, some civil unions also result in dissolution. At the Kendall County law firm of Goostree Law Group, we are experienced in representing those seeking civil union dissolutions. Our attorneys help same-sex and non-traditional heterosexual couples work through the issues involved in ending a civil union.

Dissolving a Civil Union in Kendall County

Whether a legal relationship is created through marriage or a civil union, separating that relationship involves addressing many of the same issues. When two people tie their lives together, untying those bonds can be a complicated process. If you are seeking a civil union dissolution, you may have to deal with matters related to:

• Alimony and Maintenance;
• Child Support;
• Child Custody and Visitation;
• Division of Assets and Property;
• Division of Debt;
• Orders of Protection; and
• Legal Separation.

Just as divorces can become contentious, so too can civil union dissolutions. Our attorneys strive to resolve these matters as amicably as possible in order to save our clients time, expense, and acrimony. We are skilled negotiators and know how to effectively advocate for our clients out of court. Where necessary, however, we are always prepared to fight for our clients’ rights before a judge.

Civil union dissolutions can be complicated when parental rights are unclear. This is particularly true in cases involving same-sex couples where one parent is the biological parent and the other parent has not completed an adoption of the child. If you have a complex child custody situation, our attorneys can explain your legal rights and help work towards a resolution to child-related disputes that serves your interests as well as the child’s.
