Paul Marcotte can provide information regarding the legal and financial issues involved in a divorce and answer your questions. He represents clients in Chicago, suburban Cook, DuPage, and Will Counties.

The services that we offer are:

Custody & Visitation
The court determines custody with the best interest of the child in mind and provides that a parent not granted custody of the child is entitled to reasonable visitation unless the court finds that visitation would endanger the child.

Child Support
Child Support is money a parent pays to the other parent to help with the costs of raising a child.

Maintenance (Alimony)
Courts may grant temporary or permanent maintenance, commonly referred to as alimony, in a divorce.

Marital Property (Property Division)
Marital property is all property acquired by either spouse after the marriage except for certain types of non-marital property.

Orders of Protection
A court order to stop further domestic abuse.

Estate Planning
We provide counseling on estate planning, drafting wills, powers of attorney and other issues that arise when someone dies or becomes incapacitated.

Real Estate
If buying or selling a home, we can provide legal representation in the transaction. We provide services for residential real estate closings, drafting real estate sales and purchase agreements. We also represent building owners in issues relating to lease agreements.

Personal Injury
We can provide free initial consultation on personal injury matters. Personal injury cases have strict deadlines called "statutes of limitations." If you file a lawsuit after the deadline passes, you will not be allowed to continue with your case. You need to be organized in collecting information about your injury to evaluate your claim.
