Frequently Asked Questions
What rights do fathers have in Illinois when it comes to custody?
In Illinois, fathers have equal rights to custody and visitation as mothers. The court is required to make decisions based on the child’s best interests, not gender, ensuring both parents can play an active role in their children’s lives.
Do Illinois courts favor mothers over fathers in custody cases?
Illinois courts are legally required to consider both parents equally when determining custody and parenting time. However, some fathers feel that the courts are biased, regardless of what the law says. With an experienced father’s rights attorney by your side, you can be sure that we will not allow any bias against your rights as a father.
Can I modify an existing child custody or support agreement?
Yes, if there has been a significant change in your circumstances or your child’s needs, you can request a modification to custody or child support. We’ll help you present a compelling case to ensure the court understands your situation.
What should I do if my ex-spouse isn’t following the custody agreement?
If your ex isn’t adhering to the court-ordered custody or visitation schedule, you can take legal steps to enforce the agreement. Our team will help you file a petition to make sure your rights are respected and the order is enforced.
What if my child’s mother is trying to prevent me from seeing my kids?
If your child’s mother is interfering with your visitation rights or attempting parental alienation, you can take legal action. Our firm will help you enforce your parenting plan or modify it if necessary to protect your time with your children.
