Establishes definitions for "high conflict," "parental alienation," and "safe parent" in family law cases.
The Family Law Definitions Act sets specific definitions for "high conflict," "parental alienation," and "safe parent" in family law cases. It mandates these definitions be used in all family law proceedings in Illinois. The act prohibits the use of alternative terms that evade compliance with these definitions. Failure by a court to apply these definitions constitutes reversible legal error and is cause for an appeal. These definitions aim to ensure consistent interpretations and better support the safety and best interests of children and parents.
