In this article, we explain how to change parental responsibilities and child custody and explain the difference between modifying parenting time and responsibilities within two years of the last final parenting order.
September 5, 2024
The phrase “allocation of parenting time and responsibility” has replaced the terms “custody” and “visitation” since the modification to Illinois child custody law in 2016. The purpose of the change was to represent parenting time and responsibility as a spectrum, rather than a one-dimensional term. Now, parenting time and decision-making privileges have nothing to do with which person is the “custodial” or “non-custodial” parent. Even in “shared parenting” situations, the term “custodial parent” is used to designate where the child lives the majority of the time and attends school.

The purpose of a consultation is to determine whether our firm is a good fit for your legal needs. Although we often discuss expected results and costs, our attorneys do not give legal advice unless and until you choose to retain us. Consultations may carry a charge, depending on the facts of the matter and the area of law. The cost of your consultation, if any, is communicated to you by our intake team or the attorney.

Our mission is to provide excellent legal work in a cost-effective manner while maintaining open lines of communication between our clients and their attorneys.
