Parental responsibility and parenting time

Illinois law related to child parental responsibility and parenting time can be confusing. You may have heard terms like legal parental responsibility and physical parental responsibility, joint parental responsibility and sole parental responsibility.

The most important thing to understand is this: The courts want to do what is in the best interest of the child and will consider a variety of factors to understand exactly what that is. That's why it's important to have a skilled attorney on your side who can explain what you believe is best for your child.

One factor the court will look at is each parent's willingness and ability to work with the other parent and to foster a strong relationship between the child and both parents. In other words, the court wants you to understand that both you and the other parent will have to continue working together to raise your child unless there are extenuating circumstances that make that impossible, such as abuse.

Our Belleville child parental responsibility lawyers will review your situation and help you pursue child parental responsibility and parenting time arrangements that make the most sense based on your unique circumstances.
