West Chicago Parenting Time Attorney

Compassionate Visitation Lawyer in DuPage County

During a marriage dissolution, allocation of parental responsibility and parenting time are among the most important issues that must be addressed. Many times, these issues can be negotiated between the parties. In some cases, however, the parties are unable to come to an agreement, leaving the decision in the hands of the court. If you are facing a divorce involving children, it is important to have a strong advocate by your side fighting hard to protect your interests.

Determining Factors for Parenting Time/Visitation in Illinois

In almost all divorce cases, both spouses have the right to parenting time with the children they have together. If the parties are on good terms, they can often negotiate a parenting schedule as part of their overall parenting plan. If the parties are unable to come to an agreement, they submit separate plans to the court, and the court makes the final determination (in keeping with the best interests of the child).

In addition to the child’s best interests, the court considers several other factors, including:

• The wishes of each parent;
• The wishes of the child (accounting for the child’s age, maturity level, and ability to express his/her preferences);
• The relationship of the child with the parents, siblings and any other interested parties;
• The amount of time each parent has spent performing care-taking functions for the child over the past two years;
• The mental and physical health of all parties involved;
• The specific needs of the child.
