PARENTAGE ACT-MOVING

Summary
Amends the Illinois Parentage Act of 1984. Provides that any parent having custody of any minor child under this Act and any mother having custody of a minor child whose paternity has been established or acknowledged pursuant to the listed Acts shall not remove the child from Illinois without first obtaining leave from the court to do so. Provides that the court may grant leave to any party having custody of any minor child to remove the child from Illinois whenever such approval is in the best interest of the child. Places the burden of proof of the best interest of the child on the party seeking to remove the child from Illinois. Provides that when the removal is permitted, the court may require the party removing the child from Illinois to give reasonable security guaranteeing the return of the child. Provides that, before a minor child is temporarily removed from Illinois, the parent responsible for the removal shall inform the other parent, or the other parent's attorney, of the address and telephone number where the child may be reached during the period of temporary removal, and the date on which the child shall return to Illinois, if the other parent has court-ordered visitation.
