Dheanna Fikaris

Dheanna Fikaris practices divorce and family law in Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois, with Fikaris & Associates Ltd. Patent law was her first field. Wanting more direct contact with people, she changed direction after taking an Advanced Family Law course. Her clients come from DuPage, Cook and Will counties.

Children’s issues occupy a place in that practice: her firm biography lists her as a DuPage County guardian ad litem and describes her work on custody, parenting time and child support. In child support matters, she considers the children’s needs alongside the financial circumstances of both parents. Divorce, maintenance and division of marital property also fall within the work described in her biography. She meets clients individually at her Oakbrook Terrace office; the same profile describes her continuing with their cases through completion.

At Fikaris & Associates, the service list extends to matters that arise after a divorce has become final. The firm offers modifications of child support or maintenance and enforcement of divorce terms, in addition to divorce and separation, custody and visitation, support and property division. These are the firm’s listed services, rather than a separate account of Fikaris’s individual caseload.

Fikaris also answers Illinois divorce questions in podcasts available on the firm’s website, including a program titled “Preparing for Divorce in Illinois.” The site offers a monthly divorce newsletter with Divorce Magazine under her fuller name, Dheanna A. Pappas-Fikaris.
