Get the information you need to conduct your next family law case from start to finish with this full-day seminar that is designed for attorneys new to the family law practice. The program builds upon the information found in the ISBA Family Law Toolkit – 2022 Edition – a reference guide that no family law practitioner should be without – and offers an interactive experience where attendees can network with the authors and ask follow-up questions.

Attorneys who attend this program will better understand: the statutes and Illinois Supreme Court rules impacting parenting time and responsibilities; how to determine a child’s home state and when to contest a jurisdiction in Illinois; how to calculate child support maintenance; how unemployment and underemployment can impact support; the scope and limitations of 750 ILCS 5/513 regarding the education expenses of a non-minor child; how to determine the division of property and debt; how to establish parentage (or presumption of parentage); the ethical obligations of discovery; the difference between indirect and civil contempt; the most common evidentiary issues faced by family law attorneys; and much more. The program closes with a complimentary networking reception, giving you the opportunity to meet and mingle with colleagues and speakers.
