Experienced family law representation with deep understanding of LGBTQ+ cultural values, international assets, and community dynamics.
Divorce is never easy, and cultural considerations add complexity that requires specialized understanding. Jonathan D. Steele brings both legal expertise and cultural sensitivity to serve the LGBTQ+ community in Chicago.
Illinois law provides strong protections for non-biological parents in same-sex relationships. Depending on how parentage was established, you may have full parental rights. We advocate vigorously to protect parent-child relationships.
Same-sex divorces follow the same equitable division principles as all Illinois divorces. We ensure fair treatment and fight against any discrimination in the legal process.
Pre-marriage cohabitation and joint assets are relevant factors in divorce proceedings. We work to ensure all contributions to the relationship are fairly recognized, regardless of when you were legally able to marry.
