Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois
Petition to enroll
I am trying to find out how to petition to enroll my Illinois court cases to give Georgia jurisdiction. Tjis is in regards to my daughter whom I have full custody. I was told this is something I could do without retaining a lawyer.

You never have to hire an attorney - it's only recommended. You would be entering a foreign judgment and your local courts should be able to assist you.

Re: Petition to enroll
You can domesticate your Illinois Order in Georgia. This must be done through the Georgia Courts. Feel free to contact my office for assistance in this matter.
