Schaumburg Paternity Attorneys - The law office of Glasgow & Olsson

Experienced Child Custody Attorneys Serving Schaumburg, Palatine, and Barrington, Illinois

If you share a child with your ex, the parenting agreement that you have drafted with the assistance of your attorneys is crucial for laying the foundation for the care of your child. In Illinois, “child custody” is referred to as “allocation of parental responsibilities,” and a parenting plan must be in place in order to establish both parents’ legal obligations and rights with respect to your child.

Given the importance of parenting plans in the custody and parenting aspects of child care, as shared between you and your ex, it is crucial that, in drafting them, you work with an experienced attorney in coming up with a document that reflects your rights and what is in the best interest of your child. These plans become enforceable once filed with the court.

The experienced Schaumburg child custody attorneys at Glasgow & Olsson have helped many clients draft and obtain parental agreements that meet their needs and the needs of their children. We have also served as strong and effective advocates for parents in resolving their child custody disputes through litigation, if needed. Contact us today for a free consultation.

What Parenting Plans Cover

In general, parenting plans cover the parents’ obligations, such as:

Each parent’s responsibilities regarding major decisions in the child’s life;
How the parties will resolve any disputes or modifications to the plan in the future (i.e. through mediation, etc.);
Allotted parenting time in the schedule (including where the child will live/on what days, their residential address for record-keeping purposes, etc.);
Details concerning access to the child’s records (school, medical, etc.);
Contact information for each parent (including employment info);
The right of first refusal (i.e. if the scheduled parent is unable to take care of the child during a particular period, the other parent has a right to have the child during this time);
Transportation-related provisions;
Details regarding how the parents will communicate with each other;
Relocation restrictions, including requirements relating to any change in residence; and
Any other important provisions that the parents and/or child identify as necessary to represent the child’s best interests.

Typically, each parent will work on the parenting plan with his or her attorney and then submit it to the court, whereby it becomes an enforceable court order. If there is disagreement over the parenting agreement, the judge can intervene and make determinations based upon what is in the best interests of the child. Once a court case for allocation of parental responsibilities has been initiated, the child’s parents must file the proposed parenting plan within 120 days.

In a world of chaos, pain, survival of the fittest and ever increasing crime… it is critical not to just protect yourself with tools but also with the right people on your team.

Tom Backs It Up

I was very upset about my case and doubting my current attorney when I contacted Tom and his firm. He took time out of his day to talk me off the ledge and helped me to see things in a clearer light and from my attorney’s perspective. He spoke with me nearly 25 minutes when he didn’t have to. Additionally, he called me back FIRST thing in the morning. I did not hire Glasgow & Olsson only because of Tom’s honesty integrity and advice. However, based on this experience I wouldn’t hesitate to refer someone to them. The fact that he advised me to stick with my current attorney instead of just taking my money tells you everything you need to know about him! They are trust worthy hardworking and Tom is very sharp and I could tell from even just a short conversation he had a ton of experience from the nuanced perspective he has on things. Very impressed with Tom. I expect his colleague to be just as exceptional. You get what you pay for in attorneys…but Tom backs it up. His knowledge of judges, other attorneys, the system in general is unmatched in all the conversations I’ve had with various attorneys over the years.

Pure Excellence

Tom is a very knowledgeable, experienced, and professional attorney. At all of our meetings, he showed pure excellence. He was very honest with me about what would happen and my consequences. I greatly appreciated this. He even purchased a copy of my book that I wrote to tell my story of hitting rock bottom and then becoming a success story. I would not have the privileges I have now without Tom. I HIGHLY recommend him!

Fantastic Lawyer with Top-Legal Skills

I hired Tom Glasgow and his firm to seal some criminal cases out of Cook County. The charges were very serious, and although I was not convicted of those charges, I knew it would still be an uphill battle in court. During the two years my case was pending, Tom never wavered in his complete dedication to seeing a positive outcome for me. He has excellent legal skills and knew exactly how best to present my case to the judge. He presented the court with a detailed packet of my background and information that undermined the charges filed against me. The judge granted my petition to seal those arrest records. My family and I are grateful to Attorney Glasgow and his firm for everything they did on my behalf. Because of Tom Glasgow, what I believed was a nearly impossible feat turned into a reality for me. I highly endorse and recommend Tom Glasgow for criminal matters and sealings/expungements. Thank you, Tom!

If you need help with a DUI case he is the person to call!!

In March of this year I was pulled over and arrested for DUI. I felt that is was unfair seeing I was just being honest with the officer. He pulled me over for speeding around 11:00 PM and asked where I was coming from and I told him. He then asked if I had been drinking and I informed his yes. I gave him the rest of the details and he had me do the field tests that he felt I failed. When he got me to the station and had me blow into the machine it was a .080 on the money.

I new that I would need an attorney and was referred to Thomas Glasgow. He interviewed me and gave me the plan of attack no guarantees but he felt confident. His firm handled my case with professionalism far above the norm in the industry. His staff (Yolanda Rosas and Danielle Cary) is top notch and treats you like family. Mr. Glasgow recommended that I have an Expert witness help on our case. His name was DR. Hensen and he helped clarify the machines limitations. This was one of the key factors of my case.

So after five months of court dates I was found NOT GUILTY by the judge. I’m convinced this was do the efforts of Thomas Glasgow and his team of professionals.

Honest & Compassionate

This review is for both Mr. Glasgow and Ms. Olsson. Mr. Glasgow met with me prompty and took the time to explain everything, even addressing my worries about costs and advised how to effectively use my retainer without charging me for that first meeting. They were both there for me as my divorce took an emotional turn and provided the best guidance within the bounds of the law. Both attorneys are not only honest professionals but also compassionate individuals who made a challenging process more manageable.
