Moving may seem simple, but when you have a parenting plan, even a move within Illinois can have significant implications.
Under Illinois law, relocating more than 50 miles from your current residence within Illinois, or more than 25 miles outside of Illinois, may qualify as a relocation and require the appropriate legal process.
Whether you’re considering a move, or your co-parent is, relocation can bring complicated questions about parenting time, transportation, school schedules, and keeping your child’s best interests at the center of the plan.
If your parenting plan is about to cross state lines, or simply cross a few more miles, having the right legal guidance can make all the difference.
At Kreke Smith, LLC, we help parents navigate the legal side of family transitions with clarity, confidence, and care.
Big move? Big questions? Let’s talk.
