(55 ILCS 82/5)
Sec. 5.
Legislative findings.
The General Assembly finds that the
domestic relations area of law, and particularly child custody matters,
frequently involves
seemingly minor disputes between individuals that escalate
into major social and legal problems without the intervention of neutral
parties; these problems often result in emotional damage to the children
involved and create an extra burden for the courts; there are
compelling reasons for providing neutral sites for parents to exchange the
physical custody of a child for purposes of visitation; and not-for-profit
charitable organizations
can make a substantial contribution to the
expeditious implementation of child custody and visitation orders
in this State.
