Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

Sec. 311. Pleadings and accompanying documents.

(a) In a proceeding under this Act, a petitioner seeking to establish a
support order, to determine parentage of a child, or to register and modify a support order
of a tribunal of another state or a foreign country must file a petition. Unless otherwise ordered under Section
312, the petition or accompanying documents
must provide, so far as known, the name, residential address, and social
security numbers of the obligor and the obligee or the parent and
alleged parent, and the name,
sex, residential address, social security number, and date of
birth of each child for whose benefit support is sought or whose
parentage is to be determined.  Unless filed at the time of registration,
the petition must be
accompanied by a copy of any support order known to have been
issued by another tribunal.  The
petition may include any other information that may assist in locating or
identifying the respondent.

(b) The petition must specify the relief sought.  The
petition and accompanying documents must conform substantially with the
requirements imposed by the forms mandated by federal law for
use in cases filed by a support enforcement agency.
