If children are involved in the divorce, the parties may be required to participate in a parenting program sponsored by the county in which the divorce is filed. In Kane County parties of a divorce must register with the "Kids 1st" while parties in Kendall County participate in "Parenting Through Divorce".

​

• Custody (where will the children reside? who will make the day-to-day decisions?)

• Parenting Time (formerly known as visitation)

• Child Support (currently set as a percentage of the non-residential parent's income, effective July 1, 2017, child support will be determined as an income share)
