Legal Solutions for Child Custody Agreements in Bloomington, IL

Judges in Illinois will grant joint custody when the parents demonstrate an ability to work together for the children's best interests. In these situations, both parents retain legal authority to make decisions for the children involving religion, health care, and education. The court may also appoint one parent as the custodial parent, meaning the children live with that person most of the time. Visitation – now known as parenting time – is given to the noncustodial parent.
