Understanding Allocation of Parental Responsibilities in Illinois

You have probably heard the terms "child custody" and "visitation" before. However, Illinois law no longer uses these terms. Instead it uses the words "significant decision-making responsibility" and "parenting time:"

• Significant decision-making responsibility means important decisions for a child in the areas of education, healthcare, extracurricular activities, and religion. The court can give one or both parents significant decision-making responsibilities.
• Parenting time means the time the child spends with each parent, including which parent the child will live with. The court usually gives both parents parenting time, but time is not always equal. The child usually lives mostly with one parent and has regular parenting time with the other parent.
