Not all families look the same—so why should the law treat them that way?

NextLevel Law is proud to announce a landmark parentage victory under Illinois’ Equality for Every Family Act, securing legal recognition for a non-biological parent in a complex case involving assisted reproduction.

This case reinforces a powerful truth: parenthood is defined by love, commitment, and presence—not just biology. We’re honored to advocate for families who deserve to be seen, protected, and recognized.

In observance of Memorial Day, our office will be closed on Monday, May 25 and will reopen on Tuesday, May 26. We’ll respond to any messages once we’re back in the office.

As we observe the holiday, we take a moment to acknowledge and appreciate the service members who lost their lives in the line of duty. Their commitment allows us to enjoy the freedoms we have today.

When a family is going through a separation, questions about financial support can feel overwhelming. Two of the terms we hear most often at our Chicago family law firm are child support and spousal maintenance (formerly called alimony). They both involve financial support, but they serve very different purposes under Illinois law.

Understanding the difference can help you feel more prepared as you explore your options with a Chicago divorce lawyer or family law attorney.

Our team at NextLevel Law is here to help. Call us at (312) 442-2225.

Summer is right around the corner, and for Chicago co-parents, now is the perfect time to get ahead of seasonal schedule changes. A little planning now can help keep things smooth, predictable, and stress-free for everyone—especially your child.

Here are a few legal reminders to keep in mind:

✓ Review your parenting plan for summer-specific rules
✓ Communicate early (and in writing!) about travel, camps, and childcare
✓ Double-check notice requirements for schedule changes
✓ Plan transitions, including transportation and medical needs
✓ Confirm rules for out-of-state or international travel
✓ Document any agreed-upon changes

If you have questions about your parenting plan or want to make updates before summer begins, our team at NextLevel Law is here to help. Call us anytime at (312) 442-2225 or visit www.nextlevel.law.
