We welcome this change, as we have vast experience resolving issues through comprehensive arrangements.

As a benefit to the children involved, we believe that a settlement, if at all possible, is a better option than contested proceedings between the parents.

Changes to Illinois Child Custody Law

In the State of Illinois, the term “allocation of parental responsibilities” has replaced the term “child custody.” Each individual parent is “allocated” decision making power by the Illinois Courts on important decisions. These decisions include health, religion, education and extracurricular activities. Because some parties have a difficult time communicating well with each other, this new rule allows both parents to still be involved in the life of the child, without problematic communication between the parties affecting the child or children’s well-being.
