Custody decisions involving very young children

October 11, 2019

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in fathers’ rights on Friday, October 11, 2019. The guiding principle behind any child custody decision is the best interests of the child. Increasingly, Illinois courts are deciding that shared custody, in which each parent spends at least 35% of the time with the child, is in his or her best interest.
