Temporary Relocation of a Child - Illinois Family Law - Sterk Family Law Group, P.C.

In Illinois, if a parent who has either equal parenting time or the majority of parenting time pursuant to a court order wants to move, certain laws are applicable.  In general, there are distance restrictions that determine if the move is allowed without permission from the other parent or court order.             As of January 2022, there have been some modifications to the law, under 750 ILCS 5/603.5, in which "the court may order the relocation of the child on a temporary basis before the entry of a final allocation judgment if it is in the best interests of the child."    What does this mean?  Tune in as Attorneys Gwendolyn J. Sterk and Keshia P. Bardney of Sterk Family Law Group, P.C., break this down and discuss what this means for parents in a pending family law case in Illinois.   To learn more or to connect with Sterk Family Law Group, P.C. or Gwendolyn Sterk, call 815-600-8950 or visit https://www.sterkfamilylaw.com  **************  Sterk Family Law provides a full range of family law and estate planning services in Orland Park for clients in Will, Cook, and DuPage counties.  The Sterk Family Law Group team provides a holistic approach to the practice of law and strives to not only service a client’s legal needs, but also help manage a client’s emotional and overall well-being by establishing connections with a vast network of counselors, support groups, and various other non-traditional service providers within local communities by way of the unique Resource Center.  The Resource Center provides Sterk Family Law clients with access to other professionals to help prepare for the next step in their lives.   **************  This podcast is for informational and educational purposes only.
