- Parental Responsibilities and Parenting Time – Our legal team offers aid for child custody (or the allocation of parental responsibilities) and visitation (or parenting time) situations. We also assist parents, through mediation and Guardian Ad Litem reports, in finding an amicable way to arrange parenting plans to present to the court.
- Child Support – We help clients who need to come together for a child support agreement or find themselves in a situation that requires modification of support due to a substantial change in circumstances.
Collaborative Divorce Matters in Illinois
At Bruckner Hernandez Legal Solutions, LLC, we help clients pursue alternatives to the traditional litigation approach to resolving family related legal disputes, such as collaborative divorce or mediation. These techniques promote better co-parenting relationships and coping skills to work through problems together in a way that supports the reality that parents retain a familial tie and lifelong responsibility to their children.
We also guide clients looking for specific marriage or lifestyle assistance, including:
- Divorce and Separation – Our legal counsel keeps an individual or family’s best interests in mind during a separation, contested divorce, or uncontested divorce.
- Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements – We help draft and create both prenuptial and postnuptial agreements for clients looking to get married or undergo a significant change, but protect individual assets.
- Adoption -We assists those who desire to adopt, including step-parents who wish to adopt the child of a significant other.
- Grandparents’ Rights – Our law firm understands that being a grandparent is an important role in a child’s life. We help grandparents understand and pursue their rights.

General Family Law

- Guardianships – Help for those who wish to obtain guardianship over adult family members or children in need of immediate care.
