孩子们的银行账户

You have two choices when you establish a bank account for a minor. You can retain ownership of the money, or you can pass ownership to the child. When you have an account upon which you are the designated “custodian” of the money, you have transferred ownership to the child. 这笔钱实际上是根据《八方体育app》转让的财产，由未成年人所有. The account is identified by the child’s Social Security number.

Until the child is 21, the custodian holds, manages, and invests the money. The custodian can also use the money for the child’s reasonable needs. 然而, 未成年人满21岁时, the custodian must deliver the money, plus accumulated interest and profit to the individual.

If you establish an account “in trust” for a minor, the money in the account is not owned by the minor. The trust account belongs to the trustee during the trustee’s lifetime. It is usually paid to the minor upon death.

从伊利诺斯州带走一个孩子

伊利诺斯州最高法院发表了一项一致意见，放宽了离婚父母将孩子从伊利诺斯州带走的规定. With this ruling, Illinois joins the national trend to liberalize removal laws.

在搬迁案件中要考虑五个因素:搬迁会提高监护父母和子女的总体生活质量的可能性, the motives of the custodial parent seeking to move, the motives of the non-custodial parent in resisting the removal, the best interests of the child to have a healthy and close relationship with both parents, 如果允许搬迁，是否可以达成一个现实合理的访问时间表.

ANIMAL ABUSE IS A STRONG PREDICTOR OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

如果你的丈夫曾经利用你的宠物威胁或恐吓你或你的孩子，或者折磨你的猫或狗, it is a strong predictor of domestic violence. It is important that you give this information to your attorney. 今天, 医疗专业人员, 警察, 法院, 动物权利倡导者正在把虐待动物和人类暴力联系起来. 在全国各地, 妇女收容所开始与兽医诊所和动物收容所建立伙伴关系，以便在受害者离开施虐者后收留宠物.

To support the notion of a link, here are some statistics:

在一项研究中，四分之一的受访女性表示，她们推迟了向施虐者寻求保护，因为她们担心自己的宠物会发生什么事. 在另一项研究中，住在家庭暴力收容所的女性中有70%的人说，施虐者杀死了她们的一只宠物.

Among well-known examples were serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, who killed animals and displayed them on stakes, 还有基普·金克尔, 谁炸了猫和松鼠. Later he killed his parents and then opened fire in an Oregon high school, killing two students and wounding several others. 目前, 28个州, 包括伊利诺斯, have some felony-level penalties for intentional animal abuse. These convictions call for psychological treatment and evaluation of offenders.

GRANDPARENTS LOSE GROUND ON VISITATION RIGHT

An Illinois statute signed into law this year is much stricter than its predecessor. The new law applies when one of the child’s parents dies or when the parents split up. 法律现在赋予祖父母, 只有当孩子的父母不合理地拒绝探视时，曾祖父母和兄弟姐妹才有权要求探视. 它澄清，请愿人必须得到父母中至少一方的支持，以便在父母离婚的案件中进行诉讼.

The old law was declared unconstitutional in a 2000 court decision. 新法律规定，上访者必须证明拒绝探视权“对孩子的精神有害”, 生理或心理健康.” Before, grandparents had to prove that visitation was in the child’s best interest. 现在, 新法律平衡了父母在抚养子女方面的利益，以及祖父母在孙辈生活中扮演的越来越重要的角色.

爷爷奶奶受到了打击

伊利诺伊州最高法院裁定，该州的祖父母探视法规违宪. 尽管法院并非不同情那些希望与孙辈一起探访的祖父母的困境, the State cannot be allowed to impose its power if the parents are fit. 在2001年，美国.S. 最高法院宣布华盛顿州一项允许祖父母申请探视权的法律无效，因为这侵犯了母亲抚养孩子的权益. 因此, 在伊利诺伊州，任何面临祖父母探视申请的父母都可以要求初审法官驳回申请.

一次为父，终身为父

一个自愿承认自己是孩子父亲的男人不能仅仅因为新的DNA测试证明他不是孩子的父亲就逃避父亲的责任, the Illinois Supreme Court ruled this past September. 当男人在这张表格上签字时, they are warned that they could be on the hook for child support, medical expenses and insurance for the child. 该表格还指出，男性放弃了获得律师、听证会和基因检测的权利.

一个人在表格上签了字后，怀疑自己是不是孩子的父亲，于是向法院提起了诉讼. He didn’t want to pay child support or obtain medical insurance for the child. He tried to terminate his obligations a month after receiving DNA results, which indicated that he was not the father. The court ruled that once a man voluntarily says 他是父亲, 不管之后会发生什么, 他是父亲. 因此, be warned and think carefully before signing this form.

WHAT GRANDPARENTS RAISING GRANDCHILDREN SHOULD KNOW

在美国，有600多万儿童与祖父母或其他亲戚住在一起. The State of Illinois has more than 100,000 grandparents caring for their grandchildren. Statistics indicate that it is primarily the grandmother, 60岁以下, caring for the grandchildren on a long-term basis.

在很多情况下, the grandparents are providing care giving responsibilities due to the death of the parents, the abuse or neglect of the children, 药物滥用, 疾病, 或者父母被监禁. Many grandparents don’t know what resources are available to them. 这里有一些对那些发现自己又要抚养孩子的人的常见问题的回答.

Am I eligible for financial assistance? 我在哪里可以买到?

• 向贫困家庭提供临时援助包括两类援助:仅限儿童补助金, regardless of the grandparents’; income, provide a small grant of approximately $100 per month. 更重要的是, receipt of this grant automatically qualifies the child to receive medical assistance. Working grandparents may also qualify for day care assistance.

ILLINOIS SUPREME COURT TO RULE ON PUTATIVE FATHER REGISTRY

这个登记处是由伊利诺斯州立法机关设立的，目的是保护收养家庭免受一个在孩子出生前没有与孩子的母亲结婚，或者在提交收养孩子的请愿书之前没有在法庭程序中确定孩子的父亲身份的人声称自己是孩子的父亲的伤害. 未在孩子出生后30天内进行登记的推定父亲，不得对该孩子提出任何主张其利益的诉讼. A lack of knowledge of the pregnancy or birth is not an excuse for failure to register. 伊利诺斯州最高法院正在审理一起涉及一名10岁儿童的案件.

ILLINOIS SUPREME COURT ESTABLISHES NEW RULES FOR CUSTODY CASES

2月10日, 2006, 伊利诺伊州最高法院发布了新规则，对儿童监护案件的程序进行了重大改变. These new rules became effective on July 1,2006. These new rules are designed to coordinate, 简化, 最重要的是, speed the resolution of custody cases.
