FAQs On Child Custody
Child custody is such a high stakes aspect of family law, that people should not wait to get their questions answered. The answers you seek may often be unique to your case, but many of our clients start asking about more general topics.
How is parenting time and parental responsibility determined in Illinois?
All parenting plan, custody, visitation and responsibility questions are resolved according to the best interests of the child. The factors that go into “best interests” are based on factors such as the child’s emotional and physical health, personal opportunities, safety both at home and outside the home, exposure to criminal factors. These and other factors, including the opinion of the child in the case of older children, can be used to frame what is and is not in the child’s best interests.
Can parenting time arrangements be modified after a court order?
Yes, modifications of custody arrangements are possible. In fact, they are not just possible, they are necessary and expected because no person’s situation is set in stone.
