Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act. In an action for dissolution or in a post-judgment proceeding involving minor children, authorizes the court to order the parties to participate in integrative family therapy. Defines "integrative family therapy" as a therapy model specifically aimed at high-conflict dissolution of marriage or post-judgment proceedings that involve custody or visitation where minor children have or are at risk for developing a pathological condition or pathological conditions, including but not limited to depression, anxiety, and personality disorders, in the absence of intervention. Provides that facts adduced at therapy sessions shall not be considered in adjudicating the action unless stipulated by the parties. Allows the court to assess fees as equitable.
