Scott & Scott, P.C.

Thank you to the Board of CIWBA for hosting another wonderful event.

Thanks to everyone who came out for the Judicial Reception tonight. After two long years, CIWBA is thrilled to have in-person events again.

A special thanks to all the judges who joined us and congratulations to Justice Lisa Holder White on her appointment to the Illinois Supreme Court.

Adoptions can take a long period of time, particularly if you are seeking an infant. We can explain adoption scenarios that are not as time-consuming and may or may not be more rewarding for you - including adoptions of children in foster care and adoptions of older children.

In an adoption, one of the key elements is the visit to your home to assess your worthiness as a parent. We can tell you what to expect and the things you should and should not be doing to prepare for that visit.

In family law cases, most require a settlement conference, which is simply a meeting whereupon all parties discuss and seek resolution to various areas of dispute. In addition to both parties, settlement conferences can involve judges, family law attorneys, and mediators.

While there may not be a question of child custody in your divorce, the matter of support can be a different issue. We can help you better understand what kind of support order is fair to all parties.

It’s important to remember that the American legal system is fraught with bottlenecks and delays. Let’s talk about what’s holding up your legal matter so that we can come up with a strategy to get your legal case back on track.
