Robert "Bob" Monahan's Legal Minute

Join me and Assistant States Attorney Jen Steffen as we discuss how the State of Illinois can help you get child support! It is a free service, where the custodial parent can use the state government to compel the other parent to pay!

There is a free program to assist custodial parents with obtaining, enforcing and/or modifying child support through the State of Illinois and the Lake County State’s Attorney. Lawyer Jen Steffen is with the Child Support Division of the Lake County State’s Attorney. She is an expert in assisting parents with child support issues.

 

Please join us as we have a special guest on Everyday Law — Justice Larry Inglis — who began his law practice in 1960 and has practiced longer than I have been alive. We begin by discussing the background and career of Justice Inglis, from his time in private practice to his career on the circuit court and then his career as an appellate justice. Then, we move on to the changes in the legal community since 1960. We end with the mentoring that Justice Inglis has done over the years, including being a great friend and mentor to me.

 

Join me and the President of the Association of Women Attorneys of Lake County, Assistant State’s Attorney Mary Kay Foy, as we discuss the prosecution of domestic violence felonies.
