Information maintained by the Legislative
Reference Bureau
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. 209. Information to be submitted to court.
(a) Subject to any other law providing for the confidentiality of
procedures, addresses, and other identifying information, in a child-custody
proceeding,
each
party, in its first pleading or in an attached affidavit, shall give
information, if
reasonably ascertainable, under oath as to the child's present address or
whereabouts, the places where the child has lived during the last five years,
and the
names and present addresses of the persons with whom the child has lived during
that period. The pleading or affidavit must state whether the party:
(1) has participated, as a party or witness or in any | | other capacity, in any other proceeding concerning the custody of or visitation with the child and, if so, identify the court, the case number, and the date of the child-custody determination, if any;
|
|
(2) knows of any proceeding that could affect the
| | current proceeding, including proceedings for enforcement and proceedings relating to domestic violence, protective orders, termination of parental rights, and adoptions and, if so, identify the court, the case number, and the nature of the proceeding; and
|
|
(3) knows the names and addresses of any person not a
| | party to the proceeding who has physical custody of the child or claims rights of legal custody or physical custody of, or visitation with, the child and, if so, the names and addresses of those persons.
|
|
(b) If the information required by subsection (a) is not furnished, the
court,
upon motion of a party or its own motion, may stay the proceeding until the
information is furnished.
(c) If the declaration as to any of the items described in subsection (a)(1)
through (3) is in the affirmative, the declarant shall give additional
information
under oath as required by the court. The court may examine the parties under
oath
as to details of the information furnished and other matters pertinent to the
court's
jurisdiction and the disposition of the case.
(d) Each party has a continuing duty to inform the court of any proceeding
in this or any other state that could affect the current proceeding.
(e) (Blank).
(f) If a party states in the pleading or the affidavit that disclosure of an address would risk abuse or harm to the party or a family member, the address may be omitted from documents filed with the court. A party is not required to include in the pleading or affidavit a domestic violence safe house address or an address changed as a result of a protective order.
