Illinois Custody And Visitation Attorney 

Child custody and visitation rights are typically decided by the Illinois family court system. These cases can be quite tricky, especially when there is disagreement among the parents in regards to who should have primary or sole custody of the children. In many cases, the court can be quick to determine sole custody for one parent, even when the other parent is fully capable.

Determining Child Custody and Visitation Rights

Child custody and visitation are determined based on financial capability, the welfare of the children and other factors that a judge will use to weigh the overall situation of the family. In a custody decision, the court will decide who has residential custody of the children, whether there will be joint or sole custody, who will have visitations rights and when, and who will make the majority of the life decisions for the children. Legal decision-making power is key in custody cases because it determines which parent can call the shots regarding travel, education, religion and more.
