Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

Jonathan Shimberg, you must be the most useless attorney here. In my first post/question, the first sentence of it gives you the answer to what you tell me may be a problem. You also didn't address my question at all. Then I disguise myself to basically ask the same question and you still don't answer it. I ask about filling out something to register a foreign judgment and you respond with what I'll need to file WITH it, which is not answering the question I asked because I already knew what you were telling me. An attorney would have to be a complete idiot not to know how to get a certified copy of a judgment. I hope you don't get paid for each question you answer here because you surely put no effort in to earn it.

Since you appear to know everything, why are you posting questions? I told you there was no form, but you know that so why waste everyone's time. As you know everything, get a law license. Let someone who needs to known something use this service.

While I agree with the above posters, who by the way are donating their time freely to answer questions such as your, perhaps I can shed some light on the "form" issue. When you want to register a foreign judgment, you must open a new case in the jurisdiction where you intend to have your case heard. You then draft your own petition entitled something like "Petition to Register Foreign Judgment for Child Custody, Support, Hulahoop juggling . . . " Whatever. You then tell the court why it should register your judgment, i.e., parties no longer live in the prior jurisdiction, there has been a significant change in circumstances, one party is now deceased, whatever. . . There is, however, no standardized form. Yours is now a new case and it must be opened as a new case.
