Accordingly, your preferred Illinois lawyer will tell if your case can be heard pursuant to the following types of proceedings:

• If the case is under the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act (IMDMA) which is part of the dissolution or in legal separation procedures.

• If the case is under the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act (IMDMA) which is a part of an independent action, even though both parties are never married to each other.

• If the case is under the Illinois Parentage Act of 1984 in a move to set up parentage.

• Under the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, if the child has a case that includes situations like delinquent, neglected, and abused.

• Under the law of Probate Act of 1975, when care of the child or children is wanted.

• Under the law of the Adoption Act, pending the termination of both parental rights and temporary child custody.

In determining your rights to be heard, your lawyer will take the necessary actions in order to make the case settled as soon as possible. Moreover, your Illinois child custody lawyer will determine if the case will be prosper under certain conditions. An Illinois court will tell if the case will be heard if it’s under any one of the three situations and these are the following:

• If the state of Illinois is the home of the child at the time of the beginning of the proceedings or if the state is the child’s home within 6 months before the start of the proceedings. The child is not living anymore within the state as long as one of the parent or an individual acting as parent continues to reside in Illinois.
