Statutes Amended In Order of Appearance

750 ILCS 5/607.5 new

Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act. Provides that upon a motion by the parent who received orders for deployment, the court may delegate his or her visitation rights, or a portion of those rights, to a family member of that parent who has a substantial relationship with the child if the court determines that delegated visitation is in the best interests of the child. Provides that visitation rights delegated to a family member under the new provisions terminate upon: (1) the completion of the parent's deployment, in which case the previous custody or visitation order is reinstated; or (2) a showing that the delegated visitation is no longer in the best interests of the child. Provides that nothing in the new provisions increases the authority of a family member who is delegated visitation rights to seek separate visitation rights of the child. Effective immediately.
