Women in Divorce

Chicago Divorce Lawyer

The contribution you have made to your household is immeasurable. While you may or may not have been the primary wage earner, you have added value in many ways. Running a household is a job unto itself; a job you may have taken in addition to a job outside the home. The tasks that you performed - from managing your household finances, to raising your children, to planning vacations and leisure activities - are ones to which value can be attached.

Divorce attorney Jennifer C. Smetters makes certain that you leave your marriage with a division of marital property that takes into consideration all of your valuable contributions. As a lawyer offering divorce advice for women, she will work to get you what you deserve.

Domestic Violence

If your family is one of the many affected by family violence - spousal abuse or child abuse - it's critically important that you protect your safety. An order for protection may be the first step, or it may be part of an overall plan that includes leaving an abusive home for safe shelter.

Contact Ms. Smetters law office for help obtaining a temporary or permanent order for protection.
