Uncontested Divorce

When you agree to move on

Just because you are involved in a divorce does not mean that it has to be a war. Often times when two people realize that it is better to agree to disagree and to move on with their lives they can settle their difference with an uncontested divorce. An uncontested divorce occurs when the couple that is seeking the divorce already know, and agree, on how to address the issues involved with their divorce.

What couples who agree on how to dispose of their issues may not know is how to solidify their agreement in writing in the proper legal terms and structure.  A marital settlement agreement and an allocation of parental responsibilities are important legal documents that control how your divorce will be finalized and enforced by the court.

Your marital settlement agreement has to include the division of marital property and debt. For parents, it also has to include child support. Allocation of parental responsibilities includes allocation of parenting time (formerly known as visitation).  It is important that these documents are properly drafted to reflect the true agreement of the parties to the divorce.

Everyone’s case is unique, just like each divorcing couple is unique. Each divorce agreement is unique and deserves its own individual attention.  Rafael Albarran is an attorney who will give your uncontested divorce the focus and support that you deserve.  Just because you are not fighting over maintenance or child support does not mean that your settlement agreement should not get any less attention.  Rafael Albarran understands this and gives each of his clients the attention they need to have a proper settlement agreement drafted and entered, so that you can move on with your life, knowing that your uncontested divorce was properly handled.  

I strongly believe in service to my community. I spent nearly a decade in the United States Marine Corps from December 1997 to June 2005. I supervised and commanded an 81mm Mortar Section during Operation Iraqi Freedom. I also led a team of Marines on various counter-insurgency operations and missions. I achieved the rank of Sergeant with numerous awards.

After my military service, I continued serving my local community as a Police Officer with the City of Palos Hills until May of 2011. 

As an attorney I am committed to representing my clients to the best of my ability to help them attain a just result in family law cases.

I take a very personal approach to each of my client’s cases. I personally help my client to understand the legal technicalities, processes, and procedures of the court system.

My passion for law stems from my desire to serve my community and to defend those in need. I graduated from Loyola University of Chicago School of Law with my JD degree in May 2014. I made the Dean’s List four out of six semesters and was selected for Loyola’s civil mock trial team. While in law school, I served with the public defender in the juvenile justice division, where I attained practical litigation experience and tried 13 cases to verdict. This gave me real world trial experience even prior to graduating law school. 

I obtained a Baccalaureate of Arts in History at Northern Illinois University in December 2001. I also hold an Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts from Moraine Valley Community College.

I have been practicing law since February 2015. I’m fluent in Spanish. I love spending time with friends and family, watching movies, running/weightlifting, working out and always improving my marksmanship.
