Understanding Child Custody in Illinois

Illinois family law prioritizes the best interests of the child when determining parental responsibilities. Historically referred to as child custody and visitation, these terms have been replaced with “decision-making responsibilities” and “parenting time.”

• Decision-Making Responsibilities involve which parent or parents will have the authority to make critical decisions about the child’s education, healthcare, extracurricular activities, and religious upbringing.
• Parenting Time outlines the schedule for when the child will reside with each parent, ensuring they have regular and meaningful interactions.

The court aims to create arrangements that foster stability, encourage co-parenting, and serve the child’s overall development.
