What Illinois Parentage Laws Mean for You

The Illinois Parentage Act of 2016 has made significant changes to how paternity is handled in the state. Key aspects include:

  • Gender Neutrality: The law uses the term "parent" instead of "mother" or "father," extending parental rights and responsibilities to same-sex couples and parents in civil unions.
  • Presumed Parentage: In certain cases, such as marriage or voluntary acknowledgment of paternity, a person can be presumed to be a parent without needing DNA testing.
  • Court’s Ability to Deny DNA Testing: In cases where a strong emotional bond exists between the child and a parent, the court may choose not to require DNA testing, prioritizing the child's emotional well-being over biological ties.
