FAQ

When deciding child custody in Illinois, the court considers various factors. These include the child's preferences (if they are old enough to express them), the mental and physical health of everyone involved, and the parents' ability to work together and make joint decisions.

In Illinois, there are two types of custody: legal custody and physical custody. Legal custody is custody over important decisions about the child's upbringing, while physical custody is actual physical custody rights over the child.
