In addition to the many articles that The Gitlin Law Firm publishes in legal journals and other publications, Gunnar J. Gitlin writes or edits two of Illinois leading publications:
Gitlin on Divorce: A Guide to Illinois Matrimonial Law by Gunnar J. Gitlin:
The new, Fourth Edition of Gitlin on Divorce: A Guide to Illinois Family Law completes the rewrite of the preeminent book on Illinois divorce law. In the last five years, almost all of Illinois family law has changed—and in many ways quite radically. This started in 2015 with the Illinois maintenance guidelines. 2016 brought us the rewritten Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act (nearly a decade in the making). 2017 has brought us complex income shares legislation, effective July 1, 2017. And in both 2018 and 2019 we had new sets of maintenance amendments that have reshaped maintenance awards under our maintenance guidelines.
Gitlin on Divorce is the authority on Illinois divorce law, cited consistently by the appellate courts. Gunnar J. Gitlin uses his 30 years of family-law experience to provide practical commentary and analysis for the any Illinois lawyer handling divorce cases. In this conveniently organized three-volume set, Mr. Gitlin exhaustively examines every provision of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act in its conceptual framework and directs you to relevant case law interpreting each statute—all to help you in your day-to-day practice.
Attorneys can confidently turn to Gitlin on Divorce for seasoned analysis in a from-the-trenches style—with comprehensive coverage, practice tips, and court-tested forms all focused on the realities of Illinois family law practice.
