The Illinois Petition for Allocation of Parental Responsibilities is a legal document used to request a court to issue an order that will determine parental responsibilities for a minor child. The Petition is typically filed by a parent, guardian, or other person with a legitimate interest in the child’s welfare. It outlines the legal rights and responsibilities of each parent with regard to decision-making, parenting time, and child support. The Petition has two main types: the Allocation Judgment, and the Parenting Plan. The Allocation Judgment is an order made by the court that outlines the parenting rights and responsibilities of each parent, including decision-making, parenting time, and child support. The Parenting Plan is an agreement between the parents that outlines the details of parenting time and decision-making. The Illinois Petition for Allocation of Parental Responsibilities is a key document in the legal process of determining parental roles and responsibilities in a child's life. It is important to consult with an attorney prior to filing the Petition to ensure that it is properly completed.
