Child Support Attorneys Serving DuPage County Illinois
Whether it is in the context of a divorce or not, child support is a highly contested issue that many parents face. At the Illinois law office of Andrew Cores Family Law Group, our lawyers provide representation to married and unmarried parents who are seeking to establish the correct amount of child support for their children.
Calculating Child Support Obligations in Illinois
Child support is calculated using a formula defined in Illinois law. This formula determines the amount of ongoing support required to care for a child based on the parents' combined income. That is, the court will determine the amount that parents would typically have spent to address their children's ongoing needs if they were married or living together. That amount will be divided between the parents based on their respective incomes. In some cases, the parents' respective amounts of parenting time may also be factored into these calculations.
The calculation of child support obligations can be complex, especially for high-income families. In addition to the incomes earned by parents, other factors may also need to be considered, such as various expenses involved in raising children and other obligations that may apply for either parent. Our firm can take the time to explain how Illinois child support laws will affect you and the factors that will determine the amount of support you pay or receive. We will work with you to address any concerns you may have about providing for your children's needs, and we will help you put solutions in place that will protect your children's best interests.
Altering Child Support Orders and Child Support Enforcement
In some cases, it may be necessary to make modifications to a child support order because circumstances have substantially changed. Significant changes in circumstance can include a considerable increase or decrease in wages, the loss of a job, or changes to a child's needs. A lawyer at our firm can assist you in dealing with all aspects of child support modification, and we can also help you understand your options for enforcement of child support orders so that you can collect any amounts due to you.
