Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
Guardianship
After dispositional hearing, Court adjudicated Respondent a fit parent and allowed her to retain custody of her three minor children, but adjudicated the minors wards of court and appointed DCFS as their guardian, to ensure that Respondent was able to provide proper environment. Court properly divided custody and guardianship of minors, as court found that Respondent was fit but guardianship was appropriate given previous incidents of domestic violence, and Respondent allowing father back into the home, prior to imprisonment of minors' father. (CARTER and HOLDRIDGE, concurring.)
