Divorce Law

DuPage County Divorce Lawyer

The Law Office of Emily J. Kelly in Wheaton, Illinois

A contested divorce is one of the most difficult and emotional legal situations any person will face. Whether you are initiating the divorce or your spouse already has, I will work with you to develop legal strategies and a plan to get through this trying time.

The Law Office of Emily J. Kelly delivers compassionate counsel and experienced legal advocacy. From my office in Wheaton, Illinois, I represent men and women in communities throughout DuPage County and Kane County. Call me today at (630) 221-0100 to arrange a free 30-minute consultation.

My duty is to protect your interests in all divorce-related matters:

Seeing Things Clearly and Standing Your Ground

During the course of a marriage, the lives of the husband and wife become intertwined in complicated ways: children, finances, businesses, and the family residence. I am known for guiding clients through these extremely stressful and emotional times to a position of clarity and control. I pride myself on my ability to identify the important legal issues, offer a range of potential options, and resolve the issue in the best interests of my client.

As a former prosecutor before I entered private practice in 1999, I learned to never start a fight. . . but never to walk away from one. You do not have to give up your rights because someone is playing on your sympathies, guilt, or fears. As a skilled negotiator and accomplished trial lawyer, I am committed to protecting your rights as an individual and a parent — no matter what course you choose.

You Need a Divorce Attorney As Soon As Possible

As soon as you start thinking about divorce (or suspect your spouse is thinking about divorce), there are steps you can take to reduce the cost of your divorce and gain an advantage. We want to be in as strong a negotiating position as possible. I am highly experienced in pre-divorce planning and am available to meet with you discreetly to discuss your options.

We Will Have a Clear Plan

When you first meet with me, I will explain to you how divorce and family law matters are handled in Illinois. I will work closely with you to create a plan to follow in handling your unique situation. I consider your specific goals when developing a strategy and I am not afraid to aggressively tackle a complex divorce or complicated family law issue.

I am empathetic to the stress and emotional upheaval of divorce. But I will "tell it like it is" rather than make promises. I aim to provide clients with clear, logical counsel to enter a messy process with optimistic — but realistic — expectations.
