With more than ten years of experience in divorce, custody, spousal support and visitation rights matters, she is frequently appointed by judges to represent the interest of children in contentious custody and visitation litigation.

attorneys with offices outside of Chicago. In Naperville, Illinois,
we are affiliated with Susan Rogers; we use her office to serve
clients in DuPage County. Ms. Rogers provides financial expertise

financial planner. The firm of Oswald and Yap
