Attorney Insights

Welcome to Attorney Insights. I’m Christina White, founding attorney at Christina White Legal LLC. With more than a decade of experience in family law, I’ve learned that staying informed is one of the most powerful tools a person can have when facing life-changing legal decisions.

This page serves as a resource for clients, colleagues, and community members who want to better understand the legal landscape surrounding family law in Illinois. Here, I’ll be sharing updates on legislative changes, insights from recent cases, analysis of evolving legal standards, and reflections on the practice of family law from the perspective of a working attorney.

Family law is deeply personal, and the legal process can feel overwhelming. My goal is to demystify some of that process — whether by explaining new developments, offering commentary on complex issues like parenting time or property division, or sharing thoughts on what respectful advocacy looks like in practice.

As a certified mediator, guardian ad litem, and attorney who has practiced at both large firms and now in my own family-focused practice, I bring a wide-ranging perspective to the table. I believe in combining legal skill with compassion, and in advocating for solutions that prioritize long-term well-being — especially when children are involved.

I hope you find these insights helpful, empowering, and practical — and that they offer clarity in what can often feel like uncertain times.
