Illinois Child Support.

Illinois child support, it’s for the care and happiness of your child.  I you were married you would take care of your children, a percentage would come out of your income to feed, cloth, and care for the happiness of your child or children, many people forget that, and think it’s a play for mothers to get money.  It is for the care of your children, if you find that the custodial parent is not using the child support on the child or children and get proof, you can take a custodial back to court.  Illinois child support is based upon how much income the non custodial parent does make, and how many children they are responsible for, they also look if you are taking care of other children from other relationships.  Child support can be set up to be paid weekly, monthly or however parents see the need for it to be set up.  The courts can also set up that a certain percentage of child support be set aside.  The child support can be set aside in a trust or a fund; this will be use for children’s education or any other support later in life.  If parents have already thought about college and seem to be a bit more settled in not fighting about money, the courts will not always have child support set aside like that. If child support in Illinois is not paid after 30 days of each payment due for the child then a interest will be tacked onto the child support and can build up.  The interest on child support in Illinois is a nine percent per year to be tacked on to back child support.  Most parents can talk about child support and let each other know if a child support payment is going to be late.  This is mainly for dead beat fathers, which think they don’t have to pay child support for their children. Now child support can be modified at any time, if there is a change in any of the following.
  1. If either parent, yes if custodial does get a big pay raise, this can make the non custodial child support payment go down, and vise versa.  So if there is any change in a parent’s income up or down, this can make a lower or a raise in child support, depending on the condition, and also the agreement for some parents.
  2. If a child decides to spend more time with either parent, this can make for a change in child support.
  3. When the child is older and if they have any special needs and financial needs such as a medical or a schooling expense.
 I think whatever state you reside in, parents getting along for the children are so important.  That is not always the case, so a good lawyer is needed.  Life is easier if parents agree and are able to discuss things such as child support with each other.
