An Illinois Parentage and Allocation Order is a court order issued by an Illinois court to legally establish the parent-child relationship between a parent and their child. This order also sets out the rights and responsibilities of both parties, including financial support and parenting time. The order also specifies the amount of parenting time each parent will have with the child. There are two types of Illinois Parentage and Allocation Orders: Joint Parentage and Allocation Orders and Sole Parentage and Allocation Orders. The Joint Parentage and Allocation Order acknowledges the legal relationship between two parents and allocates parenting time and responsibility for the child. The Sole Parentage and Allocation Order establishes the legal relationship between one parent and the child and allocates parenting time and responsibility for the child.
