Top-Rated Chicago Child Custody, Removal and Support Lawyers Fighting for or the Best Interests of Your Children
When determining child custody, visitation and matters related to the proper allocation of parental responsibilities, either during or after a divorce or for unmarried parents, the courts will decide based on the best interests of the child. What is in a child’s best interest may not be easily determined. Additionally, the difference between joint and sole legal custody may be unclear. In these situations, an experienced Chicago Child Custody lawyer can explain the process of allocation of parental responsibilities (parenting time) and guide you through to a favorable outcome.

Chicago Child Removal and Relocation AttorneysDedicated Attorneys Protecting Your Parental Rights in Cases of Child Relocation
One of the most contentious and emotionally charged situations that can arise during or after divorce is when a parent with primary custody of the children wishes to relocate.
Relocation of a child can also be an issue for unmarried parents if there is a court order granting visitation rights to the father. At Hoffenberg & Block, our child custody lawyers have extensive experience in this complex area of law.
Following a divorce, Illinois courts have continuing jurisdiction over child custody issues. Before a custodial parent can “remove” or relocate a child from the state of Illinois or relocate them to a different part of the state, they must obtain approval from the non-custodial parent or a court order. Our award-winning child relocation attorneys represent both parents who wish to move, as well as parents with visitation rights who are opposed to the relocation or removal of their child from Illinois.
As in most family law matters involving children, the court’s primary guiding principle in child removal or relocation cases is protection of the best interests of the child. Applying extensive negotiation and trial experience, as well as up-to-date knowledge of evolving case law, and based on thorough investigation of all factors in your case; Hoffenberg and Block can offer aggressive yet balanced legal counsel to help each client secure the best possible outcome.

“Vast knowledge and experience…”
“I was referred to Alan Hoffenberg by a friend and after our initial consultation I was confident he would be the right choice to handle my divorce. He did not disappoint. He was sensitive to my needs, kept me on track with what needed to be done and helped me with all of the daunting paperwork every step of the way. His guidance throughout the process was very helpful and he handled the opposing counsel with the right amount of professional “toughness” that represented my best interests. The divorce was completed in a timely manner and I was pleased with the outcome. I would not hesitate to recommend Alan Hoffenberg for his professionalism, and vast knowledge and experience in marital law.”
Marcia C.
Evanston, IL
“Alan helped me retain my dignity and preserve my financial independence…”
“Alan Hoffenberg was my divorce attorney, representing me in the dissolution of a 30 year marriage.
He was not only my attorney; he was also my counselor, helping me through a very difficult time in my life. He was a good friend when I needed it, but more importantly he was strong when I wasn’t and protective when I needed him.
No one wants to have a divorce attorney, but I always knew that Alan was diligently working on my behalf and always had my best interests at heart.
Three years after my divorce, when my former spouse decided to take me back to court, my case went to trial. It was then that Alan showed me a different side of him, a powerful force in the courtroom that I was glad to have on my side. He proved to the judge that my ex-husband was undeserving of reducing the settlement and he fought to allow me to retain my dignity and preserve my financial independence. Thank you Alan.“
