The Children’s Bill Of Rights
The American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers published the Children’s Bill of Rights. Here are a few of the rights included on this list:
- Children do not have to choose one parent over the other.
- They have the right to remain in a safe environment.
- They have the right to be children, not their parents’ confidants.

The Emancipation Of Minors Statute
Illinois also has an emancipation of minors statute that allows mature and self-sufficient minors between the ages of 16 and 18 to become legally emancipated with their parents’ consent. This can be of great benefit to minors who have problems entering into contracts or finding housing, for instance, due solely to their age or legal status.
Mandatory Parenting Classes
In Illinois, every county requires parents to take a parenting class online or in-person, depending on the county, in order to get a divorce or have a paternity judgment entered. This class is intended to educate both parties on the effects of divorce on children. You can choose a one-day session, two two-hour sessions or a four-hour online session.
