Options in Divorce

Attorney Smetters is available to pursue your needs through a variety of alternative dispute resolution methods, including collaborative divorce, a technique to reach an agreement with your former spouse without the intervention of a judge.

With collaborative divorce, you and your former partner remain in control of the decisions that are made. The key to its success is the ability to build upon agreements that already exist between you, with the support and guidance of your attorney and other skilled financial or child custody professionals.

Collaborative law is not appropriate for everyone. Contact Ms. Smetters for a free initial consultation to learn more about collaborative divorce and whether it may be an option in your situation. Call the office at 312-360-1166 to schedule a complimentary consultation.
