Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS)
Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.
(750 ILCS 46/608) Sec. 608. Limitation; child having presumed parent. (a) An action to challenge a presumption of parentage under Section 204 of this Act must be commenced by an individual other than the child not later than 2 years after the petitioner knew or should have known of the relevant facts. The time the petitioner is under legal disability or duress or the ground for relief is fraudulently concealed shall be excluded in computing the period of 2 years. The 2-year limitation does not apply to an action by the child. (b) A proceeding seeking to declare the non-existence of the parent-child relationship between a child and the child's presumed parent may be maintained at any time by a person described in paragraphs (1) through (4) of subsection (a) of Section 204 of this Act if the court determines that the presumed parent and the woman or individual who gave birth to the child neither cohabited nor engaged in sexual intercourse with each other during the probable time of conception. (c) If in a proceeding to adjudicate a presumed parent's parentage, another individual in addition to the woman or individual who gave birth to the child asserts a claim to parentage of the child, the court shall adjudicate parentage under Section 610.(Source: P.A. 104-448, eff. 12-12-25.) |
