- Under Illinois state law, the court may grant a custodial parent’s request for relocation only when it is deemed to be in the best interests of the child. Such orders may be issued even if the noncustodial parent objects. In these cases, it falls to the custodial parents to prove that the move is in the child’s best interests. There are a number of factors that the court will consider in determining whether to approve a request for relocation. Under state law, these factors include the following: Whether moving will enhance the child and custodial parent’s quality of life The reason why the custodial parent wishes to move The motive for the noncustodial parent’s objection to the relocation Whether a realistic and reasonable visitation schedule can be reached and implemented The time and cost that will be involved with visitation as a result of the move Furthermore, the court may also take into consideration the distance of the move.
