Summary

Amends the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act. Creates the Deployed Parents Allocation of Parental Responsibilities Part. Requires a deploying parent to notify the other parent of a pending deployment not later than 7 days after receiving notice of deployment unless reasonably prevented from doing so by the circumstances of service. Requires each parent to provide the other parent with a plan for fulfilling the parent's share of parental responsibilities during deployment. Requires an individual to whom parental responsibilities have been granted during deployment to notify the deploying parent and any other individual with parental responsibilities of a child of any change of the individual's mailing address or residence until the grant is terminated. Prohibits a court from considering a parent's past deployment or possible future deployment in itself in determining the best interests of the child in a proceeding for the allocation of parental responsibilities of a child of a service member. Allows the parents of a child to enter into a temporary agreement granting parental responsibilities during deployment of a deploying parent. Allows a court to issue a temporary order granting parental responsibilities after a deploying parent receives notice of deployment and until the deployment terminates. Allows a court to grant caretaking functions, significant decision-making, or limited contact to a non-parent who is an adult family member of the child or an adult with whom the child has a close and substantial relationship on the motion of a deploying parent. Allows the court to enter a temporary order for child support if the court has issued a temporary order granting parental responsibilities under the Part. Sets forth the termination procedures of an agreement or temporary order under the Part. Makes other changes.
