Family Law

Rockford Family Law Attorneys

At Schlueter Ecklund, we have represented hundreds of divorce clients. We have had cases involving simple uncontested divorces in which the parties have few assets and no children. We have also handled full-blown divorce trials involving custody battles, huge marital estates, business valuations, and other complicated issues. We are committed to helping our clients resolve all the issues in as amicable manner as possible. However, when the spouse or other parent fails to be reasonable, we have no fear of taking the case to court to let the judge decide what is in the best interests of the children, property division, and alimony issues.

If you have questions relating to family law, contact an experienced Rockford family law attorney at Schlueter Ecklund today.
