Description

Declaration Under UCCJEa

The Illinois Declaration Under Uniform Child-Custody and Enforcement Act (IDEA) is a form of legal document used in the state of Illinois to establish, modify, or enforce a child custody and visitation agreement. It is meant to provide a uniform system for enforcement of child custody and visitation orders by courts across the state. The IDEA is designed to provide a consistent and predictable system for determining which state’s laws will govern the enforcement of a child custody and visitation order. The IDEA provides for two types of declarations, a “Declaration of Intent” and a “Declaration of Existing Custody Order.” A Declaration of Intent is a declaration filed by one of the parties to the child custody or visitation agreement which states that they intend to abide by the terms of the order. A Declaration of Existing Custody Order is a declaration filed by one of the parties to the child custody or visitation agreement which states that the terms of the order have already been established. The IDEA also provides for additional forms which may be used to modify or enforce a child custody or visitation order. These forms include a Motion to Modify a Custody or Visitation Order, a Motion to Enforce a Custody or Visitation Order, and a Motion to Set Aside a Custody or Visitation Order. Additionally, the IDEA allows for the filing of a Motion to Vacate or Set Aside a Custody or Visitation Order, a Motion to Suspend or Terminate a Custody or Visitation Order, and a Motion to Transfer a Custody or Visitation Order. In summary, the Illinois Declaration Under Uniform Child-Custody and Enforcement Act is a form of legal document used in the state of Illinois to establish, modify, or enforce a child custody and visitation agreement. The IDEA provides for two types of declarations, a “Declaration of Intent” and a “Declaration of Existing Custody Order," as well as additional forms which may be used to modify or enforce a child custody or visitation order.
