Turning Parenting Time Into A Smooth Process
Creating and maintaining parenting time , also known as a visitation schedule, can be difficult. Young children may not understand the process at first, and no matter their age, children need time to adjust to a major change.

The Benefits of a Divorce Lawyer During Mediation
Many Illinois couples choose to go through mediation during a divorce instead of having a judge make all of the decisions.
