Cook County Child Custody and Support Lawyer
The issues in divorce surrounding children — their custodial arrangements and financial care — are often emotionally charged. Parents, in their rage or resentment against a former spouse, sometimes allow their children to be pawns in a game of control. A game no one essentially wins, least of all the children.

A Straightforward Look at Child Support
- We approach child support in the same way that Illinois courts do, in a straightforward manner looking at the numbers that will determine how much you can expect to pay or receive.
- The courts are also firmly in favor of serving the best needs of children in divorce. Our firm shares this view and works to help parents remain child-focused as they work through divorce matters.
- In determining child support, the assumption is that both parents have a duty to support children. The percentage you pay is based on factors outlined by Illinois statutes. Attorney Susan A. Marks understands the system and educates clients so that they also understand how support is determined.
Custody is Attainable
- Parents, especially fathers, worry that obtaining primary residential custody is a nearly impossible task. If you seek primary or sole custody of your children, we encourage you to speak to our lawyer, Susan A. Marks. Given the right set of conditions, custody may not be as difficult as it first may seem.
- We inform our clients that custody is attainable, but given only the right set of circumstances and behaviors. The court considers such factors as mental and emotional stability, lifestyle behaviors, addiction and overall child security.
- At S.A.M. LAW, LLC, we always work to avoid a custody battle in court. These situations are always painful and damaging to all parties involved.
