Custody / Parental Responsibilities

Allocation of Parental Responsibilities – formerly known as Custody

​

Nearly 40% of the births in the U.S. today take place outside of marriage.  And with unmarried births increasingly becoming the norm, the Illinois Parentage Act seeks to address the rights of parents and children.

​

No one is excited about the prospect of retaining counsel for parentage cases, i.e. parenting time or decision-making disputes between unmarried parents.   Deciding who should represent you and your child’s interests is a difficult and daunting decision, and we at Bennett Law understand that making that initial inquiry to an attorney can often be an overwhelming experience.

​
