The Conundrums of the Parentage Act
While the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution Act concentrates on intact families who are undergoing a separation, the Illinois Parentage Act impacts all children regardless of parental separation, unmarried couples, and parents who were never couples. In a nutshell, the Illinois Parentage Act is the statute that deals with everyone. Join us for this half-day seminar that offers a clear understanding of how to operate under the Parentage Act and explores many of the issues you may encounter.
Family law attorneys, general practitioners, civil practice lawyers, and judges who need a refresher or aren’t familiar with the current Parentage Act will learn: how to address the jurisdictional issues that may arise in your next case; the necessary protocol for establishing parentage; how the Voluntary Acknowledgment of Paternity may impact your client; what to do when an alleged parent is deceased; the issues arising from DNA testing companies like 23andMe; and much more.
