Perhaps you and your ex have resolved the majority of parenting issues during and after your divorce. You are the parent with primary parental responsibilities, while your ex has parenting time every other weekend and on alternating holidays. On a Friday afternoon, your elderly mother, who lives only a couple of blocks away, calls you in a panic because she cannot find her prescription medications.
You are expecting your ex-spouse to pick up your ten-year-old son in about an hour. Since your son is currently doing his homework and getting ready for the weekend with his dad, you decide you will just run to your mother’s home to help her find her medication and be back before your ex-spouse arrives. Unfortunately, this is the day he arrives early to find your son alone in the house.
Although you try to explain the situation when you return, he is angry and threatening to take you back to court and show that you are an unfit parent. This is a situation that requires the experience of a Will County, IL family law attorney who can ensure your case is effectively presented to the Judge.
