Summary

In Illinois, a judge is expected to consider motions to reconsider, including any evidence provided. The motion must be filed within 30 days of the original order and should present new facts or legal arguments the court overlooked. If the judge does not review your motion and you believe the non-custodial parent provided false information, you can file a complaint for contempt of court and request a hearing to present your evidence. To request a hearing, file a Motion at the Clerks office, describe your reason and evidence, serve a copy to the other party, and attend the scheduled hearing. Consult with a local attorney or Legal Aid for further assistance.
