An Illinois Visitation Exchange Order is a court order that outlines the terms of visitation between a noncustodial parent and a child. This type of order can be used when the parents are no longer in a relationship, and there is a dispute over how much time each parent should spend with the child. It is generally issued by a judge to ensure that the child will have equal access to both parents. There are four types of Illinois Visitation Exchange Orders: Standard Visitation Order, Supervised Visitation Order, Joint Custody Order, and Modified Visitation Order. A Standard Visitation Order outlines the terms of visitation between the noncustodial parent and the child, and is typically used when the parents are able to agree on a visitation schedule. A Supervised Visitation Order requires that all visitation be supervised by a third party, and is usually ordered when there is a history of abuse or neglect. A Joint Custody Order outlines shared custody responsibilities between both parents, such as decision-making and financial obligations. A Modified Visitation Order is used when the parents cannot agree on a visitation schedule, and the court must intervene to issue an order.
