Plainfield, Illinois Divorce Attorneys

Lawyers Serving Clients in Family Law Disputes in Kendall County and Will County

When two people choose to join their lives in marriage, they expect to be with each other until "death do us part." Unfortunately, not every marriage works out the way the couple hoped it would. At Wakenight & Associates, P.C., we understand that getting a divorce is already an emotionally burdensome ordeal, so we do everything in our power to help clients reach a divorce resolution quickly and effectively.

Our dedicated family law attorneys have 95 combined years practicing family law. We can help you manage the avalanche of emotional, legal, parental, financial, logistical, and practical concerns related to your divorce. You do not have to face divorce alone. Our team of divorce lawyers has the knowledge and experience to manage even the most complex divorces.

Managing the Avalanche

For nearly twenty years, the team of professionals at Wakenight & Associates, P.C. has served clients in Plainfield, Will County, and Kendall County. We offer clients a wide array of legal services relating to divorce and family law, and we have a long history of success in these areas.

Our knowledge lawyers can help you address issues such as:

• Spousal support, also called alimony or spousal maintenance;
• Division of marital assets and debts;
• The allocation of parental responsibilities (child custody);
• Parenting time (visitation) schedules; and

• High-conflict divorce;
• Allegations of domestic violence;
• Substance abuse and addiction;
• Mental health concerns;
• Parental alienation;
• Divorce between spouses over age 50;
• Stay-at-home parents; and
