Deerfield Divorce & Family Law Attorneys
Berlin Melzer Law represents Deerfield individuals and families in complex divorce, financial disputes and contested parenting matters. Whether you own a business, receive executive compensation or are concerned about protecting your relationship with your children, our attorneys provide strategic representation tailored to your circumstances.
Divorce Involving Business Owners and Professionals
Business ownership can make divorce significantly more complicated. Determining the value of a privately held company or professional practice requires an understanding of financial statements, business expenses, distributions, retained earnings and goodwill.
Our attorneys work with valuation professionals and forensic accountants when expert analysis is necessary. We also address disputes over marital and non-marital ownership interests.
Maintenance and Complex Income
A spouse's actual financial resources may be difficult to determine when compensation includes bonuses, commissions, business distributions or other variable income.
Berlin Melzer Law handles contested maintenance and child support matters involving complicated compensation structures, self-employment and disputed income.
Parenting Time and Child Custody
We represent Deerfield parents in matters involving allocation of parental responsibilities, parenting schedules, relocation, modification of existing orders and complex parenting litigation.
Cook and Lake County Representation
Deerfield extends into both Cook and Lake Counties. We represent clients in both counties and can help determine the appropriate court and procedural considerations for a particular case.
