AI Summary

  • Amends the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act to add a new Section 108 allowing courts to seal divorce, legal separation, or marriage invalidity case files upon motion

  • Courts may order sealing if the action or portions of the file are found to be sufficiently without a basis in fact or law, lack jurisdiction, or when sealing serves the interests of justice and those interests outweigh the public's interest in access

  • Prohibits sealing any portion of court files related to orders of protection, including cases where any party or child of a party has been designated as a petitioner, respondent, or protected person

  • Protects child support enforcement by prohibiting any sealing that would interfere with child support payments, income withholding for support, or reporting of support orders
