Schaumburg Nontraditional Family Attorney

Offering Legal Services for Nontraditional Families in Illinois

At Anderson Attorneys, P.C., we understand that families are structured in all kinds of ways. While the traditional nuclear family has many rights prescribed by the law, nontraditional families must often take additional legal action to ensure their rights are protected. Our firm assists all types of families in establishing their legal rights and making effective plans for the future.

Legal Counsel for Nontraditional Families in Illinois

In 2015, the Supreme Court ruled that same-sex couples have the same right to marry as opposite-sex couples. These couples enjoy many of the same rights and protections as those in "traditional" marriages or relationships. However, they may still encounter issues that could affect their family relationships. If you are in a same-sex relationship or are part of the LGBTQ+ community, our attorney can help explain your rights and counsel you on the necessary legal steps you need to take to protect yourself and your family.

We work with all types of family to provide legal guidance and services in a number of areas, including:

• Adoptions
• Grandparents' Rights
• Cohabitation Agreements
• Estate Planning
• Guardianships

Divorce and Nontraditional Families

Just as traditional marriages can end in divorce, the partners in a nontraditional relationship may also decide to separate. These cases involve dealing with many of the same issues that arise in a divorce including:

• Child Custody
• Visitation
• Child Support
• Maintenance/alimony
• Division of property

We can assist you in making the necessary arrangements to separate your life from your partner's life in the most efficient way possible. Where children are involved, we take care to protect their best interests while working to satisfy the needs and objectives of our clients.
