In re Marriage of Gary

              1In the child support enforcement action filed by the Illinois Department of Public Aid (the
Department), the respondent was denoted as Sarah Hines-Gary in the caption. When the petitioner
filed his petition for dissolution, the same spelling was used. However, we note that, in various
pleadings in the record, the respondent consistently maintains that her maiden name is Hinds and that
her married name is Sarah Hinds Gary, and her signature reflects this spelling. Accordingly, on
appeal we have adopted the spelling asserted by the respondent rather than the spelling employed
in the caption of the case as it appeared in the circuit court.
