Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

in Illinois, in a petition to the circuit court to establish a delayed birth record for a minor. is the petitioner the parent or the minor? This is a petition when required documents to establish a delayed record of birth are not accepted by the dept. of Public Heath, Div. of Vital Records. the form used is VR 141C. although not common, it does exists as the last path to establish a delayed record of birth.

Details: Child was born at home in Illinois, we shortly moved out of state and we just never got around to registering. because we home school and tend towards natural doctors we didn't need a birth certificate so now we don't have the necessary documents to satisfy the state with birth date and location. so we have to petition the county court of birth.

the letter from IDPH does state that if we live in another state we could go to any court of competent jurisdiction of that state. but the Vital Records office will not accept out of state Courts.

thanks,
