Some life transitions involving marriage, family, finances, health and LGBTQ needs can be especially challenging. The team is here to help every step of the way.

Services include family law and transition support:

Concierge Divorce Services

Direct court filings for your divorce if you have finalized an agreement between yourselves and just need assistance navigating the court system.

Predivorce Financial Education And Review

These services can be especially helpful and beneficial if you have relied on your spouse for your financial and budgeting activities and you would like to get up to speed on the various assets you have accumulated over the course of your marriage.

Concierge Post-Divorce Services

Once your divorce is final, you will find that the end date you looked forward to for so long is actually the beginning of a new chapter. The firm offers “What’s My Next Chapter” services as needed by the hour:

  • Quitclaim deed services
  • Navigating COBRA assignments and Illinois continuation coverage
  • Reviewing QDRO assignments and pension documents post QDRO processing
  • Assisting in phone calls with your hired professionals to help you ask the questions that get you the answers you are looking for, understand the responses and organize you for the next steps.
  • Financial education, review and referrals to advisers. Assistance and support during phone calls with advisers and follow-up to keep you on track.

Concierge QDRO And DRO Services

Hourly assistance as needed to review qualified and nonqualified retirement assets before and after the assignment process.

Foreign Judgments For Out-Of-State Filing Of QILDROs And QCOs

If you were divorced in a state other than Illinois and you agreed to a division of an Illinois State Pension, your documents will need to be filed with an Illinois court. The firm can file this “foreign judgment” for you with all the necessary appearances, motions, signatures and certifications so the pension can be properly assigned per your out-of-state divorce agreement.

Concierge Life Transition Services

LGBTQ

Official name changes and updating gender status on federal, state and local government documents. Having experience navigating the complexities of obtaining these updates, Cheri McIntyre, executive director, can be retained on an hourly basis to review your records and goals. She can advise on how best to accomplish the gender and name updates during your or your child’s transition and provide assistance and support on an hourly retainer.
