CHILD SUPPORT


CHILD SUPPORT ATTORNEY COOK COUNTY

ELK GROVE, SCHAUMBURG, ARLINGTON HEIGHTS LAWYER


The issue of child support can be very complex and parents need to understand that each of them is financially responsible for the child. Of course the financial ability and income of each parent is a relevant factor in determining his or her contribution towards child support.


Pursuant to Illinois statutes, 750 ICLS 5/505(a)1), Child Support is based on a percentage of a paying spouse's net income, after certain specified deductions, calculated as follows:


# of children

   Percentage    of income

1

20%

2

28%

3

32%

4

40%

5

45%

6 or more

50%


There are circumstances where our firm can present evidence and argue the amount of child support based to convince the court to deviate from the guidelines such as:

  • The financial resources and needs of the child;
  • The financial resources and needs of the custodial parent;
  • The standard of living the child would have enjoyed had the marriage not been dissolved;
  • The physical and emotional condition of the child, and his educational needs; and
  • The financial resources and needs of the non-custodial parent.


In rare occasions, a court will consider expenses which it may consider extraordinary, however that is the exception, not the rule.


Whether you are a parent who is obligated to pay child support or you are a parent who is entitled to collect child support, our firm will vigorously represent your interests and will aggressively pursue discovery to establish the other parties' financial resources so that the court is presented with the proper evidence to make a judgment in your favor.


At the dissolution of marriage, a settlement agreement must address and include various issues relevant to child support. Most of the time law firms will use a standard agreement which does not address some pivotal issues which may result in disputes in the future necessitating further court litigation. Our firm will draft a customized settlement agreement based on your individual circumstances.
