Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

Both parents have legal rights and responsibilities. You are not required to force your daughter to visit her dad, but he can ask a court to grant that right. A family court will decide what it considers to be in the best interests of the child regarding support, custody, visitation, etc. You and the father can agree to such issues, but you are advised to consult with a family agency, legal aid group, attorney, or other professional to express such agreement in written form to be approved by a court so that parental rights are clear.

Under Illinois law, until there's a court order for visitation, you can do what you please. But keep in mind, if push comes to shove, the law is on his side as it relates to his right to liberal visitation, subject to rebuttal.
