Illinois Grandparents Denied Court Ordered Visitation

Even in Illinois, with the best attorneys on your side, enforcing visitation can be a real struggle.  I used to live and work in Springfield, Illinois.  Read an article here from the Springfield Journal-Register that discusses how even court-ordered visitation is hard to enforce.

I know most of the attorneys in this article, and they are considered some of Springfield's finest.  But, it just goes to show you that even the best attorneys can't "make" visitation happen.  And, that simple fact is one of the hardest things for me to accept as an attorney.  And that simple fact is an even harder one to accept for a parent or grandparent being denied visitation.

Call the Gosteli Law Firm today at (855) 4IL-ATTY (445-2889) if you are involved in custody or visitation case, or if you have questions regarding other family law matters.  Or you can visit our website at www.gosteli-law.com.
