Services
Gauthier Family Law is a firm founded by its namesake attorney, lifelong Northern Illinois resident attorney Michael Gauthier. Before founding Gauthier Family Law, Mike was most recently with Gauthier & Gooch in Wauconda, Illinois. The work we do for clients makes a big impact. Attorney Gauthier dedicates his practice to family law, and has received numerous awards and honors for his professionalism and service to clients.
Divorce is a life-changing event. In addition to the emotional grief you may be experiencing, you may also be faced with critical decisions which will impact your finances, your living situation and the lives of your children for years to come. During this difficult time, you need the support and guidance of a compassionate, experienced and assertive lawyer.
If you're like most parents, the hardest part of getting divorced is worrying about how it will affect your children and your relationship with them. While divorce is difficult for the whole family, kids can be surprisingly resilient. And in most cases, there are things you can do to ease the negative impacts of divorce and to ensure that your children stay happy and healthy.
At Gauthier Family Law in Vernon Hills, it is our mission that no child is left in financial peril because they are not living with both of their parents. We provide firm guidance to parents who need to establish or amend a child support order in Northern Illinois. Your children's future is assured in our hands.
Although Court orders are official and enforceable, many may be modified under certain circumstances and/or after a certain length of time. That being said, it is critical to file the right paperwork at the right time and to present a strong argument for why the Court should grant your post-judgment modification.

Mr. Gauthier checks ALL the boxes. My situation was a bit complicated and he was very patient, efficient, responsive and extremely helpful. He went above and beyond to help me get my son’s custody back. I cannot be more thankful and happy that I chose to retain him. Look no further!

I have nothing but amazing things to say about Gauthier Family Law. They are all extremely professional and super helpful with any questions you have. When I reached out for my consultation initially he was extremely helpful, he explained everything to me as much as a I needed it, given the fact that I’m not a lawyer, all the lawyer talk makes about no sense to me so he was super helpful with all of that. I had so much stress taken off of me after this point. My case was over quickly and easily. I would 100% recommend anybody I know to Gauthier Family Law.

Mike gave me initial answers during a very confusing time when I was deciding whether or not I had had enough of the abuse my ex was throwing at me. He realizes that not every speaks “Legalese” and helps to make sure you understand everything that could potentially happen on a case. Highly recommended.

I reached out to Mike for advice in a time of need. Not only did he respond quickly, but he was a great listener and any questions I had were answered knowledgeably. If you are looking for legal advice from someone who is professional, prompt, knowledgeable, and considerate Mike is the way to go!

Mike, his team and I were in a very rough place when he agreed to take over my divorce case that had been going on for nearly 2 years. I had fired my previous attorney due to extremely poor service and Mike took over with about a month before the case was set to go to trial. Mike and his team treated me like a person, valued my input and gave very great advice. He treated me more like a friend rather than a client.
I'm the end, we ended up coming to a very favorable settlement and avoided going to an expensive trial in court.
Thank you for all you and your team have done for me and my family
