Restricting Child Custody For Sex Offenders
Springfield, IL – The latest in a long line of bills sponsored by State Senator Don Harmon (D-Oak Park) cracking down on sex offenders was recently signed into law by Governor Rod Blagojevich. The most recent measure (SB 2873) simplifies the process for committing a sexually violent person to a secure psychiatric facility.
Senate Bill 2873 strengthens the state's Sexually Violent Persons (SVP) Act to ensure that the most dangerous sexual predators – those whom authorities believe will attack again – are confined indefinitely. Illinois is one of 16 states that has an SVP program, which can result in the civil commitment of an offender if he is deemed sexually violent upon his parole from the Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC).
Senator Harmon said the changes made by the new law will allow sexually violent persons – after completing their criminal sentences – to go directly from prison to secure psychiatric facilities, without being released while they still pose a danger to the community.

Child custody rights can be modified.
In today's mobile and constantly changing society it is very common that custody rights are modified. Courts recognize that children's desires, wishes or even relationships to parents change over the course of time. Therefore, with the children's best interest in mind, courts are willing to alter custodial rights in order to adapt to new circumstances and living situations. Alternatively, the ex-spouses can voluntarily modify the last court order and come to a mutual agreement about the new custody rights.
