Uncle Aunt Custody Rights
Summary
Aunts and uncles in Illinois can seek custody or visitation if a parent has abandoned the child, but courts prioritize parental rights unless compelling reasons exist. To transfer a custody case from Indiana to Illinois, file a motion to transfer jurisdiction. You dont need to open a new case in Illinois. Both Indiana and Illinois courts will notify you of the transfer status and any hearings. Regularly check mail and email for updates, and maintain current contact information with the courts. Legal forms can be found on Indiana and Illinois court websites.Full Conversation
