Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

I would be so appreciative of any advice on this... My mother just was granted a small partial reconsideration on her motion to reconsider property distribution on her divorce. Her attorney said that because the judge made an award in their favor (he said Mom owes DAD 24000 of her pension...

Illinois is corrupt, you're right. It starts at the very top too. But regardless of what he can get away with, as a matter of law can he technically dismiss this ruling or does he have to uphold it? Does it matter that it wasn't the appellate court of our area? We are in central - this was the...

Yesterday my mom was in front of a circuit judge in Illinois who decided her divorce several years ago. I will get into more details if needed, but if other points of law are lost, when it comes time my mom will not sign what is called a consent to qildro in regards to division of pension...

Once again we are still at a standstill. My mother's attorney has informed my mother she has never once tried a case where someone refused to sign a consent to issuance of qildro. In fact, the only appellate case IL has on record in regards to consent is Menken vs Menken where it is ruled that...

Most of that we are aware of, it's what the judge can make her do now (pay out of pocket, etc) that we are concerned about, but I'm very grateful you replied. This was my first post to this site and I was beginning to think registering here was pointless if no one answers. Thank you so much.

Does no one have any ideas on this? The first court date is scheduled for tomorrow, and the attorney won't speak to us on the phone without a 200.00 bill that we can't afford. She has in no way prepared us for what could happen and my mom is about to have a nervous breakdown. She has rheumatoid...

My mother and father divorced in 2001. Very unfairly my father was awarded half of my mother's retirement. Per their divorce decree, the retirement is to be divided by qildro. My mom submitted a motion for reconsideration and my father submitted his opposition but for some reason a final...
