These American flags fly on our family Covered Bridge Estate and every Memorial Day I think about what it really means to fight for someone.

The men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice. Those who gave their lives without hesitation. Without a guarantee. Without ever knowing the outcome.

That kind of courage lives on and has impacted all of us.

Who gets the dog?

It sounds like a simple question, until it becomes one of the most emotionally-charged battles in a divorce.

I’ve seen pets become pawns in negotiations. I’ve seen fur children used to inflict emotional harm on the other spouse. And I’ve seen couples spend more time fighting over their Labrador than their investment portfolio.

The law is evolving. Courts are no longer treating pets as just property. And for high-net-worth couples, the costs of pet care: vet bills, grooming, specialized diets, travel, can be significant.

PetNups exist for a reason. Plan ahead before emotions take over.

Learn more in my latest post at the link in the comments. P.S. This is my sweet dog, Marley, who passed away. I’d do anything to have her back!

When your divorce is over, what matters most isn’t necessarily the dollar amount in the settlement. It’s whether you are actually okay. Whether you’re healing. Whether you’re building a new life you love. That’s the real win.

This text stopped me in my tracks.

As a divorce attorney who also specializes in going to trial and litigating, most of my inbox and text messages revolve around helping people through intense conflict. This client’s dad had something else to share, and it’s why I get up everyday to do this. Long-term wins and happiness for the families.

My first job was at age 9. My goal? To get a cool 10-speed bike. I cut my neighbor’s lawn and formed perfect lines with pride to get there. It taught me the value of hard work from a young age. Fast-forward nearly 50 years, and that same work ethic has led to being an equity partner at one of the largest family law firms in Illinois and building a powerhouse team of more than a dozen attorneys. What’s something you worked hard for at a young age that helped shaped you today? And yes, I earned that bike in record time ;-)

Second, work with our team to get informed about your financial assets and provide the necessary information for your affidavit. Third, use that knowledge to make empowered decisions in building your best life.

Divorce is not just a legal process.

It's a life process.

You're building a new world. The routines. The identity. The future.
And on the other side of that process is clarity. A life that is fully, unapologetically yours.

Some cases stay with you. I once helped a father fight to keep his young son here in Illinois. If things had gone differently and that child moved out of state, their entire relationship might have been limited. Years later, seeing that father and son happy together makes all the courtroom battles worth it.
