Petitions for Relocation (moving with a child out of state)

Illinois law prohibits divorcing and/or divorced parents from moving out of Illinois with a child or children without first obtaining permission from the Court.  Such permission can be obtained only by means of a Petition for Relocation filed with the Court.  The parent seeking to remove a child must prove that Relocation is permitted under the law.  The parent seeking to keep the child in Illinois has many available defenses to a Petition for Relocation.  The divorce lawyers at Bruning & Associates PC will help determine your rights with respect to the relocation of children from Illinois.
