Northfield, Illinois, Divorce Mediation Attorney

From the Law Offices of Sandra M. Rosenbloom in Northfield, Illinois, we represent clients throughout Cook County and Lake County in family law matters.

A Client-Oriented Approach

• Collaborative Law: A Collaborative divorce gives power and agency to our clients to shape the resolution of their disputes. Attorney Sandra Rosenbloom has undergone extensive training in Collaborative law and is a Fellow and former Director and Officer at the Collaborative Law Institute of Illinois.
• Collaborative Law Post-Decree: Modifications to child support and child custody can be reached through Collaborative efforts.
• Mediation and Negotiation: We offer alternative dispute resolutions for divorcing couples through mediation, the Collaborative process, and through negotiation. Often couples may have resolved most but not all issues and become "stuck". Through mediation of specific issues that have resisted previous attempts at resolution, the couple is able to explore creative options that previously eluded them. Many people do not realize that mediation can be used effectively for specific family law issues, either before, during or after a divorce.
• Divorce: Our divorce mediation and Collaborative practice lawyers represent clients in traditional divorces, as well as Collaborative ones, dealing with the division of marital property, spousal support and divorce planning.
• Paternity: In disputes over the paternity of a child or the support, custody or visitation of a child not born to a married couple, we can help find resolutions to these problems and provide guidance for the resources necessary to establish paternity or to establish a parent/child relationship.
• 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. In today's world of people marrying after establishing careers, a pre-nuptial agreement provides protection of previously acquired assets for both parties and helps them consider before their marriage one of the leading causes of divorce: misunderstandings about acquiring future wealth and how to handle funds after the marriage. Our lawyers also draft cohabitation agreements for nonmarried couples.
• Postnuptial Agreements: Often, a long-term marriage becomes troubled by how each spouse handles and views money. Under those circumstances, a post-nuptial agreement can work to preserve the marriage by giving each spouse the security of a defined financial partnership.
• Domestic Partnerships: Our attorneys handle the dissolution of registered domestic partnerships.
