PROTECT YOUR FUTURE!! 🛑💰

Are you making CRITICAL MISTAKES with your retirement accounts during your divorce? Splitting everything 50/50 might seem fair, but without checking the fine print, you could be setting yourself up for a MAJOR FINANCIAL HIT!

Don't let your hard-earned savings disappear! Here are the 7 big pitfalls you MUST avoid:

1. FORGETTING THE QDRO! Without a Qualified Domestic Relations Order, you might never see those funds!
2. IGNORING TAXES! $100k in a Roth is NOT the same as $100k in a traditional 401(k)! 📉
3. THE 50/50 TRAP! A "simple" split isn't always fair when you look at the tax implications!
4. NOT UPDATING BENEFICIARIES!
5. OVERLOOKING LOANS!
6. VALUING ASSETS INCORRECTLY!
7. WAITING TOO LONG! ⏳

WE WANT TO HELP YOU SECURE YOUR FINANCIAL FUTURE!! 🥂✨ Our team at Gehris & Associates has over 35 years of experience fighting for our clients in McHenry, Kane, and Lake County!

Illinois families: BIG legal language shift to know!!!

In Illinois, we don’t really use the word “custody” anymore. Instead, the law focuses on the ALLOCATION OF PARENTAL RESPONSIBILITIES.

Why the change? It’s meant to move families away from a “win/lose” fight and toward what actually matters: your child’s best interests.

This typically breaks down into:
• Decision-making (education, medical, religion, extracurriculars)
• Parenting time (when each parent has time with the child)

If you’re going through a divorce or parenting case, the wording matters: and so does having a plan that works in real life.

With 35+ years of experience, Gehris & Associates, LLC helps parents navigate these changes smoothly and protect what matters most.

Call 815-893-0020 to talk through your options.

WHAT ILLINOIS FAMILIES NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE 2025 CHILD SUPPORT CHANGES!!!

Illinois updates its child support guideline tables yearly: and 2025 brought new Income Shares numbers. That can mean your support estimate (or current order) may look different than it did before.

A few big takeaways:
• The 2025 Schedule of Basic Obligations (the “table”) was updated.
• The standardized net income table was updated (tax adjustments can change calculations).
• Parenting time still matters: 146+ overnights can trigger the shared-parenting “cross-credit” and change who pays (and how much).

If you’re negotiating a new case OR thinking about modifying an existing order, it’s worth running updated numbers and reviewing your parenting schedule.
