FAMILY LAW
CHILD CUSTODY
Chicago Custody Attorneys
The practice of family law is different than every other practice area of the law because of what is ultimately at stake. For most people, the divorce is not about their house or car, it is about their most precious asset-their children. The thought of fighting a custody “battle” can be a daunting one. A fight for custody is often the biggest source of litigation in a divorce or parentage case. It also can be the biggest source of stress, be financially draining and worst of all, damage your relationship with your children.
Parents often forget that long after the custody dispute is over, they will still be raising their children with the other parent. To minimize the negative effects of a custody dispute, the experienced Chicago Custody Attorneys of the Integrity Law Group, LLC always explore settling your custody case. But what happens if this is not an option? You need an experienced and aggressive Chicago Custody Attorney to help you navigate the custody process as efficiently and effectively as possible. Call 773-278-9200 to speak with an experienced Custody Attorney today for a free consultation.
What is the Custody Process?
The Custody Attorneys at the Integrity Law Group, LLC are experienced in guiding clients through all aspects of the Custody process. Here is what you can expect to see in a Chicago Custody dispute:
Emergency Custody Hearing
Do you need immediate action? Kidnapping, physical or mental abuse of the children, drug or alcohol abuse by a parent are typical reasons why you need to get custody of your children quickly. The Custody Attorneys at The Integrity Law Group will help you file your case and emergency motion, locate the other parent with our in-house detective, and bring everyone into court for your emergency hearing.
Mediation and Parenting Class
If you do not have an agreement on all issues involving child, the court will send you to mandatory mediation where you will sit down with a mediator and the other parent to resolve part, all or none of your issues. The court will, whether or not you have a full agreement, order you to complete a parenting class. If you have a Cook County case, you can take the parenting class online at: http://online.divorce-education.com/
Best Interest of the Child
What do the courts use for determining custody? The statute in question is 750 ILCS 5/602 which is:
Best Interest of Child.
(a) The court shall determine custody in accordance with the best interest of the child. The court shall consider all relevant factors including:
(1) the wishes of the child’s parent or parents as to his custody;
(2) the wishes of the child as to his custodian;
(3) the interaction and interrelationship of the child with his parent or parents, his siblings and any other person who may significantly affect the child’s best interest;
(4) the child’s adjustment to his home, school and community;
(5) the mental and physical health of all individuals involved;
(6) the physical violence or threat of physical violence by the child’s potential custodian, whether directed against the child or directed against another person;
(7) the occurrence of ongoing or repeated abuse as defined in Section 103 of the Illinois Domestic Violence Act of 1986, whether directed against the child or directed against another person;
(8) the willingness and ability of each parent to facilitate and encourage a close and continuing relationship between the other parent and the child;
(9) whether one of the parents is a sex offender; and
(10) the terms of a parent’s military family-care plan that a parent must complete before deployment if a parent is a member of the United States Armed Forces who is being deployed.
In the case of a custody proceeding in which a stepparent has standing under Section 601, it is presumed to be in the best interest of the minor child that the natural parent have the custody of the minor child unless the presumption is rebutted by the stepparent.
(b) The court shall not consider conduct of a present or proposed custodian that does not affect his relationship to the child.
(c) Unless the court finds the occurrence of ongoing abuse as defined in Section 103 of the Illinois Domestic Violence Act of 1986, the court shall presume that the maximum involvement and cooperation of both parents regarding the physical, mental, moral, and emotional well-being of their child is in the best interest of the child. There shall be no presumption in favor of or against joint custody.
Child Representative, Guardian ad Litem and Attorney for the Child
In most cases where the custody of the children is at issue, the court will appoint a child’s representative, guardian ad litem or attorney for the child with the type of appointment
dependent on the facts and circumstances of each case. At this point, the appointed attorney, will often interview the parents and the children, and advocate for the children’s best interest.
604(b) evaluation
The court may also order a 750 ILCS 5/604(b) evaluation. A child psychologist or psychiatrist is usually appointed to evaluate you, the other parent, the child and or any significant others involved in the child’s life. They will interview, look at documents and other evidence and with a neutral position and then write a report with recommendations to the court on what in their expert opinion is in the best interest of the child.
Trial
Finally, if your custody case has not settled you will have a custody trial before a Judge. Witnesses, the other parent and most importantly you will get to tell the Judge why you think it is in your child’s best interest that you should be granted custody.

CHILD SUPPORT
It seems to always come down to the issue of money. Both parents share the obligation to financially support their children. Illinois Child Support laws provide guidelines for the determination of the support amount. The Integrity Law Group, LLC has the experience and expertise to help you with your child support case.
So what is the amount I will be expected to pay for my child? OR What is the amount I should receive for my child?
So, for example, if you have one child expect to pay receive $600.00 per month from a net income of $3,000.00 per month. With two children and the same net income, the support amount would be $840.00 per month.
What is net income?
Net income might just be the amount the child support payer takes home every pay period but it might not be! Net income for child support includes income the payer receives from all sources, including but not limited to overtime, other jobs and even rental income. The payer is allowed to deduct federal taxes, state taxes, Medicare, social-security or its equivalent, health insurance premiums, union dues, prior obligations of support, and possibly student loan payments. Give us a call today to help you determine the net income in your case.
What about self-employed parents or parents hiding income?
Determining child support from someone that is self-employed can definitely be difficult and why it is beneficial to have an experience attorney on your side. Let us help you determine if business expenses are legitimate and/or if a parent is hiding income. If a parent who is obligated to pay support is self-employed and their income cannot be calculated, the court may impute his/her income based on his/her lifestyle and property. The courts also have the power to enter a needs based child support order, so support can be set regardless of a parent’s net income and based on the needs of the child(ren). For example, if the custodial parent pays $1,000.00 a month for food, clothing, shelter and education of the parties’ child, then the court could order the non-custodial parent to pay $500 or more based on those needs. Let us help you obtain the best possible outcome, give us a call today.
What about parents with other support orders, does the court take that into account?
Yes, if there is an older order the courts can reduce the amount of the paying parent’s net income by the amount of the other support order. Support amounts may also be limited based on federal withholding guidelines. Talk to the child support attorneys at The Integrity Law Group, LLC today.
How do I change the child support amount?
A petition for modification of child support can be filed if there is a loss of employment, new employment, and/or the needs of the children change.
I am not receiving the court ordered child support. How can I enforce the child support order?
The court provides several remedies to get a parent to pay child support, including jail. The child support attorneys from the Integrity Law Group, LLC can help you file the proper pleadings
When does child support end?
Child support typically ends when the child reaches 18 and has graduated high school, but does not extend past the age of 19 unless the child is medically dependent and/or disabled. Remember that a child support order does not typically stop without a new court order terminating the support. Give us a call if you need to terminate child support.
Also remember that support may not end if the issue of college expenses is raised before the court. See our section on College Expenses (link to college expenses page) for more information.

PATERNITY AND PARENTAGE
Paternity/Parentage Attorneys
Establishing the legal father of a child, known as paternity or parentage is a crucial first step to establish rights of custody, visitation and support. Call the Parentage Attorneys at The Integrity Law Group, LLC at 773-278-9200 for help in establishing paternity for your child.
How Paternity is established:
- The father of the child can sign a Voluntary Acknowledgement of Paternity (VAP) at the child’s birth which will put him on the child’s birth certificate.
- The parents of the child are married at the time the child is conceived and/or when the child is born to the parents.
- The father or mother files to establish a declaration of paternity through the court or through the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services and the father is then legally established as the legal father of the child either through DNA testing and/or by agreement.
Paternity Rights
Until father is legally established as father as described above, he is legally without the rights and responsibilities of a parent. Once paternity is established, father can seek custody and establish visitation time. Establishing paternity also allows mother to see Child Support from father or father to seek child support from mother if he has custody. Give the Paternity Attorneys of The Integrity Law Group, LLC a call today at 773-278-9200 for a free consultation!
PRE-NUPTIAL AND POST-NUPTIAL AGREEMENTS
Pre-nuptial agreements, also referred to as ante-nuptial agreements, are typically for couples who want to protect their property and assets in case their new marriage fails. Post-nuptial Agreements allow couples who are already married to allocate their property and assets. The agreement will spell out the terms of property division, debt division and spousal support in the event the couple divorces, saving the time and expense of a litigated divorce. The agreements cannot award child custody and child support. If a pre-nuptial or post-nuptial agreement is not drafted and executed correctly, it may not be enforceable in the Illinois court. This is why it is important to speak to a Chicago Pre-Nuptial Attorney. Give the attorneys at the Integrity Law Group, LLC a call for a free consultation at 773-278-9200.
UNCONTESTED DIVORCE
Uncontested Divorce Attorneys
When spouses are in agreement to divorce, they can obtain an uncontested divorce. In an uncontested divorce, both spouses are able to agree on all issues associated with the end of their marriage, including: Custody, visitation, property division, debt division, maintenance and child support. By agreeing on all issues, a couple can end their marriage in a cost-effective manner without waiting a long time. If you are looking for an uncontested divorce, then give The Integrity Law Group, LLC a call at 773-278-9200 today!
Both parties can hire lawyers, or you can have only one lawyer represent one party in an uncontested divorce. It is important to note that a lawyer can represent only one party in the divorce. Be wary of any attorney that says they can represent both parties – as it is a conflict of interest. So what is the process for obtaining an uncontested divorce?
1. Filing: One of the spouses must file a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage. The Petition for Dissolution of Marriage starts the divorce process with the court.
2. Negotiation: A marital settlement agreement and a parenting agreement (if the spouses have children) are distributed along with all the other necessary documents to the non-filing spouse for review. These documents spell out the terms of the divorce. Usually there are only a few changes to the marital settlement agreement and parenting agreement as they have been previously discussed between the parties. There can be a few minor changes in these documents, but the major issues are agreed in principle. If the parties are not mostly in agreement then the parties do not have an uncontested divorce, they have a contested divorce.
3. Prove-Up/Divorce: The spouses go to court with the signed settlement agreements and present them to the judge. This typically takes only 10-15 minutes once you are before a judge. The judge hears testimony from the filing spouse.
If both sides are willing to cooperate and come to court when necessary, your divorce can be granted a little more than a week.
Please note that just because you start the process as an uncontested, does not mean that you have to proceed as an uncontested matter. You have the right to change your mind during the negotiation phase to a contested matter.
To get started with your uncontested divorce, give the divorce attorneys of The Integrity Law Group, LLC a call at 773-278-9200 for a free consultation.

DRIVING/MOTOR VEHICLE/REVOCATIONS
DUI/LICENSE REINSTATEMENT
Illinois Driver’s License Reinstatement Attorney
Are you looking for help getting your license reinstated after having it revoked or suspended? Illinois law and Secretary of State regulations may allow you to restore your driving privileges-but it is a difficult process for someone without the benefit of an experienced License Reinstatement Attorney. The attorneys of The Integrity Law Group have extensive experience to prepare you for your hearing before the Illinois Secretary of State. At the Integrity Law Group you can speak to an attorney who has taken part in thousands of hearings on all sides of the table, the Secretary of State representative, the hearing officer and the attorney. Call 773-278-9200 to speak to a License Reinstatement Attorney today!
Can I try the first hearing myself without an attorney?
This type of question always inevitably comes up during a consultation. A hearing applicant who does not have an experienced Reinstatement Attorney with him at his hearing not only runs the risk of failure from having errors in his treatment evaluation and/or errors in his submitted paperwork, but he may be ill-prepared for the questions he is asked and answer something that might be inconsistent with his paperwork. Any inconsistent statements made at the first hearing don’t just go away. It can create a problem at the second hearing that will need to be corrected, causing a long delay to obtaining your driver’s license.
Be assured of your best chance of success by having an attorney with the experience and successful track record that can review everything with you, file and obtain the hearing date, prepare you for the hearing and attend the hearing with you. If you have tried the hearing on your own, don’t worry, we can help you fix the reasons for the denial at your second hearing.

RESTRICTED DRIVING PERMIT
What is a Restricted Driving Permit (RDP)?
A Restricted Driving Permit (RDP) will be granted even if you are eligible for full reinstatement. If you need to drive for work, school or medical reasons, you may be granted a RDP for one year. Once granted an RDP, you are not eligible to request a hearing for full reinstatement of your driver’s license for 90 days prior to the expiration of the RDP.
If you are granted a Restricted Driving Permit (RDP) after your formal or informal hearing before the Secretary of State, you may be required to have Breath Alcohol Ignition Interlock Device (BAIID) installed in your vehicle. If you have had more than one conviction for DUI or you have had your license suspended or revoked more than once in the last ten years, then you will be required to have the BAIID installed-for which there are some limited exceptions.
BAIID Information
You will have up to 14 days to have the BAIID installed from your receipt of the RDP. You will pay the cost of the BAIID installation and a monthly monitoring fee is collected by the Secretary of State. Once you have the BAIID installed, you can only drive the vehicle which the BAIID is installed in. For further information on fees see:
http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/departments/BAIID/baiid.html
SECRETARY OF STATE HEARINGS – FORMAL AND INFORMAL
Formal and Informal Hearings with the Illinois Secretary of State
The Secretary of State has two types of hearings for an applicant. The informal hearings are available at one of the designated Secretary of State hearing facilities without the need to actually schedule the hearing. The hearing officer at an informal hearing can hear cases for driver’s whose licenses are suspended or revoked for drug, alcohol and other reasons. However, if the case involves serious personal injury, death or for someone with more than one suspension or revocation from separate DUI’s, then you cannot have an informal hearing and must request a formal hearing. A decision from the Secretary of State after an informal hearing typically comes in about 6 weeks, but it must be issued within 90 days of the hearing. A formal hearing must be scheduled within 90 days of the applicant’s request and a decision must also be issued within 90 days of the hearing.
What happens at a hearing?
Once you arrive in the hearing room, you will meet a Secretary of State attorney and the hearing officer. You will be sworn in under oath and then the hearing will begin. Documents will be offered into evidence by both or either your attorney and the Secretary of State attorney and the hearing officer will have the ability to review the documents if there are no objections.
You will then be asked a serious of questions by your attorney (which your attorney will have prepared with you) that will cover your background, your driving record, any previous hearings, your drug/alcohol evaluations (if applicable), your DUI(s), your drinking/drug use history and patterns (if applicable), your treatment and support plan. In some cases, you will then be asked follow up questions by the Secretary of State attorney and the hearing officer. The hearing officer will then close the hearing and tell you that you will receive the decision within 90 days.
TEMPORARY VISITOR DRIVER’S LICENSE
Undocumented Immigrants obtaining a Temporary Visitor Driver’s License
The experienced attorneys of The Integrity Law Group can guide you through the process of obtaining a Temporary Visitor’s Driver’s License (TVDL) for those people who may have committed fraud and/or for undocumented immigrants.
If you are an undocumented immigrant who obtained a driver’s license fraudulently in the past, the Illinois Secretary of State now allows you to apply for a TVDL if you provide and verify your correct identity. You will need to verify your legal name, date of birth, address, and signature. You will need to be a resident of the State of Illinois for at least one year and be able to prove it with items such as mail, utility bills or bank statements. The fraud will have to be reported to the Secretary of State and the Secretary of State Police will likely interview you and verify your identity.
Once your identity has been verified, your fraudulent driving record, with your record of any DUIs, moving violations, et cetera will be transferred to your new record. You may also have a driver’s license suspension of one year applied to your new record before you can be issued a new driver’s license. The attorneys of The Integrity Law Group can help you through this process and can also help you apply for a Restricted Driver’s Permit (RDP) during your suspension.
