Oak Brook Post Divorce Modification Lawyers

Experienced Handling of Parental Relocation Proceedings

The Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act (IMDMA) details the requirements that parents will need to meet in situations where they plan to move with their children after getting divorced. One of the main concerns with parental relocation is the potential impact on the parent-child relationship with both parents. The IMDMA's guidelines recognize the importance of proximity and access to both parents. When a parent plans to move to a new home, and this relocation would require them to modify their parenting plan, courts will be looking to ensure that any modifications made will provide for the children's best interests.

In Illinois, parental relocation is defined as:

• A change in residence of up to 25 miles when the child formerly lived in Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry, or Will Counties;
• A residence change of up to 50 miles for any other county; or
• A change in residence to a different state up to 25 miles away from the previous residence.
