How Illinois Child Custody Laws Apply In Your Case

Over the past several years, how the court views child custody matters and the laws involved in these types of cases have undergone some dramatic changes. Under the Illinois Statutes, rather than awarding one parent sole custody while the other has visitation, the court aims for agreements which help ensure both play an active and engaged role in the child’s life.

In allocating parental responsibility, the court favors parenting plans which allow the parents to share custody. It also grants each party decision making authority in regards to matters affecting the child, such as concerning their education, medical care, and religious upbringing. In these proceedings, you will be encouraged to negotiate agreements through your attorney or through court ordered mediation. In the event you and the other parent cannot come to an agreement, the Will County Family Court judge assigned to your case may issue an order in the matter. This order may include any of the following:

• Rights to joint custody, in which the child’s time is divided equally between both parents;
• The right to spend time with the child over holidays, birthdays, and other special occasions;
• The right to extended visits over school breaks and vacations.
