Child Support
First, the judge must determine whether maintenance is appropriate and if so, the judge is to apply the guidelines described below to set the maintenance. Alternatively, the judge can reject the guidelines if he or she feels they will result in an unfair amount. Child support is to be calculated after the maintenance is determined.
Child Custody and Visitation
John’s best experience since joining the firm was his involvement in an international child custody dispute. John served as co-trial counsel and he argued many of the motions in the case. His research and case analysis helped our client achieve a successful result, resulting in the return of his child.
Adoption
“We were involved in a very complicated interstate custody dispute. We all know the saying “the chips are down”, and they most certainly were. Once Mr. Peskind became involved in our case, the truth and the facts became clearly and indisputably known. Mr. Peskind was able to completely stop the spousal abuse that had gone on for over five years. He guided us step by step through this complex matter all the way through the step-parent adoption process. We dealt with many attorneys, and suffice it to say Mr. Peskind is head and shoulders above all the rest. He treated us with fairness and dignity. He made certain we understood the legal processes and what each step entailed. In such a stressful time, make certain you have the paramount legal team working for you. We strongly recommend Mr. Peskind to anyone involved in any marital or custody dispute. You will have the very best representing you as you go before the court." ~LH
Paternity
Premarital Agreement
Some want to protect their financial interests in the event of a divorce or their death. People do this through a contract called a “prenuptial agreement.” With a validly executed prenuptial agreement, one can...
Spousal Support
Legal Separation
A legal separation is a formal court proceeding in which the court grants a decree for legal separation. A legal separation allows people to enter orders allocating their income, assets, and debts, and live as if they are not married, without divorcing.
Child Abuse
The Atlantic monthly magazine published an article featuring a child abuse case that Steven Peskind, Mollie Peskind, and their co-counsel, Matthew Haiduk successfully defended in 2018. The case involved false claims of child abuse brought by DCFS and the Kane County State’s Attorney based upon a controversial report by a child abuse pediatrician at Lurie Children’s Hospital. The article, written by Stephanie Clifford, is entitled … Continue reading

Murder
Steven N. Peskind recently attended a day-long seminar in Metamora, Illinois discussing the law practice of Abraham Lincoln. In 1857, Abraham Lincoln was the defense attorney for Melissa Goings, who was charged with the murder of her husband, Roswell Goings—a 77-year-old man with a reputation for heavy drinking and spousal abuse. The abuse led to a tragic ending when, according to Melissa, Roswell tried to … Continue reading

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
Legal separations are not often used. Generally, we recommend against a legal separation for people who are uncertain whether a divorce would be in their best interest. We use this procedure only where parties want to separate their legal affairs for a lengthy an indefinite period but want to avoid a divorce for religious or estate planning reasons. Often people contact us asking for a legal separation while they separate pending a possible reconciliation. However, if you want to separate for a period of time, we suggest instead an informal agreement to avoid unnecessary court costs. Obviously, if the trust in a relationship is so low that a court order needs to be entered pending reconciliation, the likelihood of a successful reconciliation is small.

Tax Law
Introduction Under longstanding tax law, maintenance was tax deductible by the payer and taxable income to the recipient. By using maintenance, families could shift income from a higher earning spouse’s upper tax rate to the lower earning spouse’s often negligible tax rate. As a result, families had more cash available to divide as part of the divorce settlement. Due to recent changes in federal tax … Continue reading
