How the Illinois Stay-At-Home Order Affects Your Parenting Time Schedule

On March 20, 2020 Governor Pritzker issued a Stay-At-Home Order requiring Illinois residents to avoid all non-essential travel in an effort to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.  

Section 4 of the Order prohibits all travel except “Essential Travel” and Essential Activities.

Section 14(e) of the Order provides that “travel required by…court order, including to transport children pursuant to a custody agreement” is considered “Essential Travel.”  Therefore, any valid court orders containing parenting time schedules, including schedules provided in parenting plans, are effective and enforceable during the active period of the Stay-At-Home Order. 

Many courthouses, including Will County, DuPage County, and Kendall County will remain open during this time period for limited operations, and will still allow the filing of cases for child custody, parenting time, and child support.
