Special Needs Divorce & Custody Issues - handled by lawyers Micki Moran, The Child & Family Law Center, a division of Grund & Leavitt P.C.
Divorce and custody issues impact many families and can be particularly daunting for parents of children with special needs. There are many more moving parts and no formulaic solutions for these unique families. I now devote a portion of my practice to divorce, parentage and post-decree issues. It has been a challenging but an important and interesting part of what I do. In counseling families in the midst of a divorce I have developed a checklist for things to consider in preparing the Parenting Agreement and Marital Settlement Agreements. The new state statutes in Illinois have eliminated the words custody and now reference instead decision making and parenting time.
