Northfield, Illinois, Collaborative Divorce Lawyer

From the Law Offices of Sandra M. Rosenbloom in Northfield, Illinois, I represent clients throughout Cook County and Lake County in family law matters. I encourage my clients to consider alternatives to traditional divorce litigation in order to stress cooperation rather than confrontation. I assist my clients in evaluating the entire family situation and help them craft unique and creative solutions to the issues involved in their divorce. Contact my firm today to schedule your consultation regarding:

  • Collaborative Law: A collaborative divorce gives power and agency to my clients to shape the resolution of their disputes. I have undergone extensive training in collaborative law and am a fellow at the Collaborative Law Institute of Illinois.
  • Collaborative Post-decree: Modifications to child support and child custody can be reached through collaborative efforts.
  • Mediation: I am a trained mediator and offer alternative dispute resolutions for divorcing couples, as well as representation for couples in mediated disputes. Many people do not realize that mediation can be effectively utilized for specific family law issues, either before, during or after a divorce.
  • Negotiated Settlements: I strive to negotiate fair and reasonable settlements on behalf of my clients, thereby lessening the risk of litigation.
  • Divorce: I represent clients in traditional divorces, as well as collaborative ones, emphasizing negotiated settlements through creative and respectful negotiations.
  • Child Custody and Support: I help clients focus on what is really important in their lives — their children. I work hard to craft parenting plans and support settlements that are fair to all sides. I will also help my clients modify agreements post-decree, either traditionally or through Mediation or the collaborative process.
  • Division of Marital Property: My firm can protect your rights and help you make important decisions regarding the equitable division of martial property, assets and debts.
  • Paternity: In disputes over the paternity of a child or the support, custody, or visitation of a child not born to a married couple, I can help find resolution to these problems and provide guidance for the resources necessary to establish paternity.
  • Prenuptial Agreements: Prenuptial agreements are effective tools for soon-to-be married couples, especially if there are premarital assets to be protected, children from a previous marriage to be considered or family businesses that may be involved. I also draft cohabitation agreements for non-married couples.
  • Postnuptial Agreements: I draft post-marital agreements to help couples eliminate some of the financial stresses that can damage a long-term marriage.
  • Domestic Partnerships: I handle the dissolution of registered domestic partnerships.
  • Divorce Planning and Consultation: If you are considering divorcing your spouse you should consult an attorney about all the relevant financial and family issues before you take any legal action.
