CUSTODY-REMOVAL OVER 100 MILES                                             

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the Illinois Marriage and  Dissolution  of  Marriage  Act.      
   Provides  that the court may grant leave, before or after judgment, to      
   any party having custody of any minor child to remove the child  to  a      
   new  residence  within  the  State which is located outside a 100 mile      
   geographical radius of the residence of the child at the time  of  the      
   initial  custody  judgment  if removal is in the best interests of the      
   child.  The burden of proving that removal is in the best interests of      
   the child is on the party seeking removal.  Removal of a  minor  child      
   to a new residence within the State which is located within a 100 mile      
   geographical  radius  of the residence of the child at the time of the      
   initial custody judgment shall not require leave of  court.  Effective      
   immediately.                                                                
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                 
        Deletes everything.  Amends the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution      
   of Marriage Act.  Provides procedures for the court to  determine  the      
   best interests of a child with regard to relocation of that child more      
   than  100  miles  from  the  child's residence at the time of the last      
   custody order or at the time of the entry of Judgment,  whether inside      
   or outside the State of Illinois.  Provides that the custodial  parent      
   or  primary residential parent shall give 30 days notice of a proposed      
   change of  residence  beyond  100  miles,  with  opportunity  for  the      
   non-custodial  or  non-residential  parent to object within 21 days of      
   notice.  Effective immediately.
