Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

Re: petition to remove child from state who pays fees

There are no guarantees regarding whether a judge would order your ex to reimburse you. There are quite a few issues which go into such a question, including but not limited to the financial resources of the parties and the ability of each to pay, and the merits of the request for leave to remove. In short, there is no automatic reimbursement. This matter would best have been considered at the time you were in court on your ex�s leave to remove the child from the state.

The information is provided as a convenience, and we make no claims, promises, or guarantees about the accuracy, completeness, or adequacy of the information. In sum, the information you obtain from this email is not, nor is it intended to be, legal advice.

To obtain legal advice, you should personally consult an attorney for individual professional services regarding your own situation. This is because, before rendering legal advice, attorneys have many, many points to consider. In most circumstances, before advising a client, other pertinent information would need to be elicited and considered. A transaction, legal dispute, factual issue, or point of law which at first seems simple may upon investigation be found to be quite involved. The individual client�s needs, problems, resources, goals, and expectations must also be measured.

Indeed, depending upon the nature of the legal matter, one-size-fits-all answers to legal questions may be very risky. For this reasons, we recommend that decisions in legal matters be based upon a personal, professional attorney-client relation. Please permit us to repeat: The information you obtain from this email is not, nor is it intended to be, legal advice, and our email response to email question does not create a personal, professional attorney-client relation.
