Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

Re: Accident settelment

Of course someone can get an attorney, I am not sure what the questions is. If he is getting an attorney in an attempt to change the current

situation where you have full custody, you also need to get a lawyer to fight that.

Re: Accident settelment

I believe you are saying that your husband hired an attorney to sue for damages related to an accident your son was in.

When you say full custody, do you mean that you have "legal custody" or "physical custody." Physical custody means the child lives with you all the time. Legal custody means your husband has no input on decision such as where your children go to school.

If your husband has no legal custody, then he cannot do much since he will not be authorized to file suit on your son's behalf. If your husband does have legal custody then you may have a fight on your hands. You should speak to an attorney, possibly whoever handled your divorce, to figure out how to proceed.
