When the initial decree and parenting plan is granted, the court normally retains jurisdiction of the case. All further hearings are normally heard in the same court unless either (or both) parents successfully petition the court for a change of venue.

The court with jurisdiction (where the action was filed and remains) retains jurisdiction until the case is filed somewhere else by mutual agreement. How did your wife and kids move out of Ill. in the first place? Usually there is a motion filed before that happens. But yes, y'all are stuck.

If the divorce was decided in Illinois and then the custodial parent moves, there can be a problem. In the divorce decree, there were probably visitation and child support orders. No one can just break them without going through the courts or obtaining permission from the other parent. My wife and I went through this but it worked out fine with calm heads ruling.
