Today, we’re sharing some difficult news from our office.

Our beloved Fletcher has passed away.

Fletcher wasn’t just Mollie’s dog, he was part of our team. He came to the office every day and somehow made his way into just about everything we did… meetings, consultations, depositions you name it. And in every one of those moments, he brought something special.

He had a way of making people feel comfortable when they needed it most. For many of our clients, Fletcher was the first to greet them and the one who helped ease nerves during some really tough days.

To us, he was more than an office dog. He was a constant presence, a source of comfort, and a friend to everyone who walked through our doors.

We know many of you met him and loved him... just like we did.

He will be deeply missed. 💙

Understanding Illinois Maintenance (Alimony) Laws
Divorce can be overwhelming, especially when it comes to questions about spousal maintenance (formerly known as alimony).
In Illinois, maintenance isn’t automatic. Courts look at multiple statutory factors, including income differences, length of marriage, earning capacity, and future financial needs. In many cases, a formula is used, but that doesn’t mean outcomes are simple or predictable.
If you’re asking:
✔️ Will I have to pay maintenance?
✔️ How much could I receive?
✔️ How long will payments last?
✔️ Can maintenance be modified later?
You deserve clear answers based on Illinois law, not guesswork.
At Peskind Law, our experienced family law attorneys guide clients through complex financial issues with strategy, precision, and advocacy. Whether you’re negotiating a settlement or preparing for court, we help protect your financial future.

At Peskind Law Firm, we believe that even the most difficult endings can lead to something positive.

This Valentine’s season, we’re proud to support Brookfield Zoo through their annual “Name a Roach” program—an initiative that helps fund animal care, education, and wildlife conservation.

As a small way of saying thank you to our past and present clients, we’d love to sponsor a cockroach in honor of someone from your past—no judgment, no questions asked. 😉

If you’re a current or former client and would like us to submit a name on your behalf, simply reach out to our office by emailing [email protected] (please provide the first name only). We’ll handle the rest.
The deadline for submissions is February 4, 2026.

Because sometimes the best closure… crawls. 🪳💚
