Guiding Families Through Life’s Defining Moments

At Fay & Farrow, we know how important family is. We approach every case with a careful strategy, as we take the time to understand the needs of our clients and consider how the outcome of the case might affect their future. You can trust us to stand up for what matters most to you, whether through negotiation or litigation.

Fay & Farrow

Our firm has the resources, legal knowledge, and skillset to address a wide variety of family law issues. In a divorce, you might have concerns about how the dissolution of the marriage will affect your finances. Judges in Illinois adhere to the principle of equitable distribution to divide property, which prioritizes fairness, but is subject to interpretation by the court. We can advocate for a reasonable division of property that acknowledges your contributions to the marriage, your needs, and other relevant factors. We can also engage in direct negotiations with your spouse and their attorney, potentially giving you greater control over the outcome.

We also have years of experience handling spousal support disputes on behalf of our clients. A negotiated settlement or divorce decree can include provisions for financial support paid by one spouse to the other, and we represent spouses on either side of the dispute.

Parents going through a divorce or separation also have a responsibility to determine who will pay child support. We can go over the state guidelines with you so that you understand your obligations, and if necessary, petition for a change to a child support order. We take this responsibility seriously, so you can trust us to fight for your child's well-being.

In matters of child custody, the court places great importance on the child's best interests. Multiple factors will be considered by the court, including (but not limited to) the child's age and health, their developmental needs, and each parent's fitness. Our lawyers will take a fierce stance in negotiations, advocating for your parental rights. We can help you craft a parenting plan that accounts for your unique family situation, looking to minimize conflict when possible.

Our lawyers have decades of experience, so you can trust that your case will be handled by a seasoned team of professionals.

Providing Clarity and Comfort for Clients in Need

Going through a divorce or other legal problems can be overwhelming, especially if you are not familiar with all of the relevant laws. Our firm is here to clear up any points of confusion, simplifying the legal proceedings with step-by-step guidance.

What Is a Contested Divorce?

A divorce is considered "contested" when the spouses cannot reach an agreement on important issues, such as asset division or child custody.

What Is the Child's Best Interests Standard?

The courts refer to the child's best interests to make decisions about custody. This is to ensure that the child's needs are prioritized over the parent's individual preferences.

Is Illinois a No-Fault Divorce State?

Yes, Illinois is a no-fault divorce state, which means that you can only get a divorce on the grounds of "irreconcilable differences."

What Are the Benefits of Mediation?

Mediation can help spouses resolve a contested divorce without the need for a lengthy, expensive trial. This process involves working with a third-party mediator who does not take either spouse's side.

Do Fathers and Mothers Have Equal Rights in Illinois?

Illinois does not give preferential treatment to fathers or mothers in custody disputes. Instead, the courts focus on what arrangement is best for the child.

From Our Clients

Divorce is the most stressful event I have ever experienced and Mark Farrow helped see me through it two times. He is not only very professional and knowledgeable but also his personable demeanor allayed my fears making it a much easier process than I imagined. He was quick to respond when I had questions. He worked very well with my spouse’s attorney. I would highly recommend Mark Farrow. I used his services twice and each time I was very satisfied.
