This Allocation Judgment is designed for instances where the other parent is not appearing in court and has been defaulted. Sole decision-making is therefore awarded to the active parent and the other parent’s parenting time is reserved (i.e., not decided by the Court until an undetermined date in the future).

This Allocation Judgment, also known as a Parenting Plan, is for parents who wish to have equal parenting time (i.e., 50-50 time) and joint decision-making responsibilities over all major issues (i.e., education, healthcare, extracurricular activities, and religion) regarding their minor children.

You can use this draft if you are involved in a custody matter (i.e., parentage or divorce case) in the State of Illinois. The Allocation Judgment must be signed by both parties, and signed and entered by a Judge, for it to be enforceable.
