We are getting two different stories from two different counties... but it should be the same state wide... what's the deal?Which parent has custody of children during separation before a divorce in IL?
When you file for a legal separation, there will be a part in the paperword that touches on children in the marriage. You can check the box requesting the children are you be in your custody...
That's the only way besides kidnapping.. and the kids won't be with you then at all!Which parent has custody of children during separation before a divorce in IL?
generally custody is legally decided at the preliminary hearing, and finalized at the divorce. Dont ask your kids, unless they are like 17 or so. That is not a decision that should be forced on a child. My ex and I had a discussion about custody before he moved out. I said I thought the kids should be with me and visit him, and he agreed. You should come to an arrangement with your STBX that is most beneficial to the children, then have it held up by the judge.
its the same every where both parents have custody the man or woman can get the child and skip the country and there is nothing you can do about it until you go down and get it in writing, one parent will have full custody and the other can have visitation or you can do it 50/50 or what ever the two of you decide. But if the child is a certain age they can decide who they want to live with because your child will be appointed a guardian of enlightenment I think that's what its called, and that person will ask your child questions and act as a lawyer on the behalf of the child
I think either parent, because nothing has been filed yet in court. When you file for divorce, when children are involved, they set a preliminary hearing which decides child support, custody, visitation for the duration of the divorce proceedings. You need to file in the county in which you live.
It isn't the same everywhere. Ask your children what they would like. They can make the decision for you.
