Collaborative Post-decree

Illinois Collaborative Post-Decree Modifications Lawyer

After a divorce becomes final, circumstances often change that make the original settlement inadequate for current needs. The law allows for issues such as parenting time and child custody agreements, spousal support or alimony and child support payments to be modified after one or both parties has a substantial change in circumstances. Many times, these post-decree modifications break down into positional disagreements rather than focused, need-based negotiations.

The collaborative post-decree process offers an alternative to this adversarial model. The process allows clients to take control of their post-divorce relationship with their ex-spouse. At the Law Offices of Sandra M. Rosenbloom in Northfield, Illinois, I help my clients avoid court and find satisfying resolutions to their post-decree issues.

An Attorney Trained to Handle Collaborative Post-decree Issues

I have centered my practice on family and matrimonial law issues for more than fifteen years. As an experienced attorney, I encourage my clients to consider collaborative solutions to their divorce and post-decree legal matters. As a Fellow of the Collaborative Law Institute of Illinois, I have specialized training designed to help my clients find non-confrontational resolutions to their disputes and keep their extended family relationships intact.

A principal advantage of collaborative post-decree solutions is that my clients maintain control over the decision-making. Control is not given to a judge to decide issues that are better decided personally. The collaborative approach also reduces the animosity that destroys so many family relationships. It gives people the tools to work things out themselves if future disputes occur and may prevent future problems. It is often an effective and gratifying alternative in many post-decree matters, including the following:

• Parenting and parenting time issues
• Removal and family relocation
• Modification of maintenance, alimony and child support
• Child support
• College expenses

A collaborative solution is not for everyone. Before we begin the process, both sides and their lawyers must agree to collaborate, and there are consequences if negotiations break down. I offer traditional divorce representation, as well as mediation and negotiation services when collaborative law is not appropriate.
