Deerfield Family Law Attorneys

If you’re involved in a legal family battle where neither party can agree to terms, you need to find an attorney you can trust. We know how hard it is to put your trust into someone with such a high-stakes, personal problem, but we are here to help you.

At Law Offices of Stuart A. Reid P.C., we are family law lawyers who have helped people in Deerfield and Lake Zurich since 2004. We will take steps to resolve your family matters ASAP. When you meet with us we will ask you about every detail of your case and then use the information to build a strong case in your favor.

We Are Experienced In All Family Law Disputes

Every family law conflict is different because the factors from the people involved to the issues at hand are different. That’s why we take the time to get to know our clients personally before we take on their case. We can provide you with guidance and advocacy in such cases as:

  • Child support: Disputes in child support are especially frustrating for clients, as much of the decisions are out of their hands and governed by statutory formula.
  • Spousal support: Either side of a spousal support or alimony case can see a massive opposition to their goals.
  • Parentage cases: Creating the legal basis for a custody case or for support increases tension between unmarried parents.
  • Domestic violence issues: Both the victims and the accused have considerable legal obstacles to overcome in domestic violence cases.
  • Visitation scheduling issues: Nothing exacerbates tension between coparents than disruptions to visitation schedules.
  • College expense contribution: College expenses are not a normal part of child support discussions, so who pays what for college can be a massive point of strife.

We will help you pursue an outcome that benefits your family and helps you gain as much control over your future as you can.
