(705 ILCS 405/1-15) (from Ch. 37, par. 801-15)
Sec. 1-15.
Wrong Venue or Inadequate Service.
(a) All objections of
improper venue are waived by a party respondent unless a motion to transfer
to a proper venue is made by that party respondent before the start of an
adjudicatory hearing conducted under any Article of this Act. No order or
judgment is void because of a claim that it was rendered in the wrong venue
unless that claim is raised in accordance with this Section.
(b) A party respondent who either has been properly served, or who
appears before the court personally or by counsel at the adjudicatory
hearing or at any earlier proceeding on a petition for wardship under this
Act leading to that adjudicatory hearing, and who wishes to object to the
court's jurisdiction on the ground that some necessary party either has not
been served or has not been properly served must raise that claim before
the start of the adjudicatory hearing conducted under any Article of this
Act. No order or judgment is void because of a claim of inadequate service
unless that claim is raised in accordance with this Section.
