Winnetka Divorce & Family Law Attorneys
Divorce involving substantial wealth requires careful attention to both the immediate legal dispute and its long-term financial consequences. Berlin Melzer Law LLC represents Winnetka clients in high-asset divorce, complex financial family law matters, and contested parenting cases.
Our attorneys handle cases involving business ownership, executive compensation, investment portfolios, real estate, trusts, inherited assets, marital and non-marital property, and other sophisticated financial issues.
Sophisticated Representation for Winnetka Families
Every divorce has financial consequences, but cases involving significant assets or income often require additional analysis.
Berlin Melzer Law handles issues including business and professional practice valuation, tracing of non-marital assets, executive compensation and bonuses, stock options and equity compensation, retained earnings and business distributions, investment and retirement assets, multiple residences and real estate holdings, maintenance, child support, and complex discovery.
We work with financial and valuation experts when necessary to understand the complete financial picture and advocate for an appropriate result.
Parenting and Custody Litigation
Financial complexity does not make parenting issues any less important. Our attorneys represent Winnetka parents in disputes involving allocation of parental responsibilities, parenting time, relocation, school decisions, child support, extracurricular expenses, and other significant decisions affecting children.
We also handle cases involving guardians ad litem, child representatives, parenting coordinators, and custody evaluators.
Litigation, Negotiation and Alternative Dispute Resolution
Not every divorce should be litigated. Some matters are best resolved through direct negotiation, mediation, or collaborative divorce. Others require aggressive preparation and courtroom advocacy.
Our goal is not to create unnecessary conflict. It is to understand what is at stake, develop a strategy appropriate for the case, and prepare from the beginning for the possibility of trial.
