CHICAGO, Aug. 28, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- A Judgment for Dissolution of Marriage was entered on May 24, 2016. The parties had three minor children, ages 16, 12 and 11. Pursuant to the Allocation Judgment, the mother had been allocated the majority of the children's parenting time. The mother filed a Petition for Child Relocation and sought permission to relocate with the parties' minor children to North Carolina. Judge Elizabeth M. Rochford found that the mother failed to sustain her burden of proof and denied her Petition to Relocate with the children (Case No. 15 D 566). The following summary is based on an edited excerpt of Judge Rochford's transcribed findings and determination.

In the petition for relocation, the father was represented by Kimberly J. Anderson of Anderson & Boback. The Guardian Ad Litem was Marc K. Schwartz of Schwartz, Wolf & Bernstein, LLP.

The court re-appointed Guardian ad Litem Marc Schwartz to investigate the children's best interest in regard to the relocation petition. In his reports and testimony, he ultimately concluded that relocation was not in the best interests of the children. The court found that the mother failed to sustain her burden of proof and denied her Petition for Relocation to North Carolina. The Allocation Judgment was to be modified to designate the father as the primary residential parent for school purposes.

The case was published in the August issue of the Illinois Divorce Digest. Also, visit the Anderson & Boback website to read the case details.
