Professional Representation When Child Visitation Issues Arise

Under the Illinois Compiled Statutes (750 ILCS 5/600), custody disputes may be resolved through joint parenting arrangements or by awarding one parent primary custody while the other has visitation. In making these decisions, the courts consider numerous factors, such as:

• Each parent’s current and previous relationship with the child;
• Their ability to provide for the child and to meet their needs;
• The existence of factors, such as domestic abuse or drug and alcohol addiction, which could put the child in jeopardy.

At the Women’s Divorce & Family Law Group, we provide the experienced legal representation needed by parents in these situations. If your rights have been restricted or denied, we can petition the court for needed changes. If you suspect your child is in danger due to the other parent’s actions, we can intervene to help ensure your child’s safety.

Creating a Visitation Schedule That Works for You and Your Child

In Chicago, visitation arrangements are made using parenting plans, which outline each person’s rights and responsibilities.  Based on the circumstances involved in your case, Women’s Divorce & Family Law Group can gather the evidence needed to arrange for the following:

• Weeknight and overnight visitation every other weekend;
• Extended visitation on school breaks, holidays, and other special occasions;
• Provisions regarding third party visits, such as with other family members;
• Arrangements regarding phone calls, texts, and other forms of communication with your child during times when you are not together;
• Guidelines for handling disputes when they arise, such as changes in scheduling or when one parent refuses to comply with the visitation schedule.
