If the parents disagree about the terms of the parenting plan and cannot reach a compromise during mediation, the court may decide on the unresolved elements for them. Life is full of unexpected changes, and consequently, there may come a time that a parent needs to alter the terms of the parenting plan. However, parental responsibilities and parenting time arrangements may only be modified in certain circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>When Can Parental Plan Responsibilities Be Modified?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Parental responsibilities refers to a parent\u2019s authority to make major decisions about the child such as where the child will attend school or religious services. Illinois law places a two-year moratorium on parental responsibility modifications in order to promote stability in the child\u2019s life. However, parental responsibilities may be changed before the two-year period if:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Both parents agree on the modification and the court finds the modification to be in the child\u2019s best interests.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The parents agree to waive the two-year moratorium.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Each parent has requested a modification.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>One of the parents cohabitates with a sex offender.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The current circumstances endanger the child\u2019s mental, emotional, or physical wellbeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If it has been more than two years since the establishment of the parenting plan, the allocation of parental responsibilities may be modified if there is a \u201csubstantial change in circumstances\u201d and the modification is in the child\u2019s best interests. If the parents have been following a different arrangement for over six months, they may modify the parenting plan to reflect the arrangement that they have been following.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>When Can the Parenting Plan Time Schedule Be Changed?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The parenting time schedule may be altered at any time if there is a change in circumstances that necessitates the modification and the modification is in the child\u2019s best interest. For example, if a parent\u2019s work schedule changes, the parents may need to switch the days that each parent is responsible for the child. A parent\u2019s relocation is automatically considered a change in circumstances. Parents may also modify the parenting plan to reflect a new parenting schedule if the parents have followed a parenting schedule for at least six months and wish to make this schedule official.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color
