Family law attorneys that concentrate on your needs

We are not general practitioners. The divorce lawyers at the Law Offices of Michael P. Doman focuses on providing counsel and representation in:

Divorce ? We have built a reputation for providing tough and effective representation in divorce mediation and all related matters, including spousal maintenance (alimony) and the division of marital property, such as vacation homes, family businesses and assets in pensions and nonqualified deferred compensation plans.
Allocation of parental responsibilities ? Whether you seek to get allocation of parental responsibilities (previously known as full custody), develop a sensible parenting plan, or gain access to your grandchildren, The Law Offices of Michael P. Doman ensures your voice is heard and your rights are protected during a custody dispute.
Child support ? Illinois typically requires the nonresidential parent to pay child support to the residential parent or, in the case of allocation of parental responsibilities, the residential parent. If your ex remarries, it will terminate alimony, but may not necessarily end the child support you pay or receive.
Family law ? We provide services, counsel and representation in other critical family law matters, including civil unions, premarital/postmarital agreements (also referred to as prenups and postnups), protective orders and paternity rights.
