Since the outcomes of these cases can be monumental, it is incredibly important to work with an experienced attorney.

At Wakenight & Associates, P.C., our skilled lawyers have been practicing family law for over 95 combined years. We have represented families in a wide variety of situations, and we can help you understand your rights, your options, and the best choices to make throughout the legal process.

Dedicated Family Law Representation

Cases heard in family court may involve any legal issues involving family members, including parents, children, spouses, and grandparents. Our attorneys can help you address concerns involving:

• Paternity - Establishing legal parentage ensures that a child can have a relationship with both parents. When paternity has been established, the father and mother will both have the right to share in child custody decisions and parenting time, as well as the obligation to provide child support.
• Adoption - Our attorneys can help prospective parents meet their legal requirements when making a new addition to the family. We assist with agency adoptions, DCFS adoptions, international adoptions, stepparent adoptions, adult adoptions, and more.
• Divorce - Spouses who choose to end their marriage must address a wide variety of legal concerns, including the division of marital property and eligibility for spousal maintenance/alimony. We can help address complex financial concerns in high net worth divorce cases, and if necessary, we will provide aggressive representation in a high conflict divorce.
• Child Issues - When parents choose to divorce, or when unmarried parents do not live together, certain issues regarding the couple's children will need to be resolved. We provide representation in legal cases involving the allocation of parental responsibility, parenting time/visitation, child support, and parental relocation, as well as addressing concerns about fathers' rights or stay at home parents.
• Emergencies - People who are in a relationship involving domestic abuse should take steps to escape this dangerous situation and protect their own safety, as well as the safety of their children. Our attorneys can provide the representation you need when seeking an order of protection.
