Illinois Child Support Family Law Attorneys

Child Support Legal Services in DuPage County

Usually when parents file for divorce or legal separation, one of the most contested issues between them, is child support. Since child support payments determine how well a child will be provided for, both the custodial and noncustodial parent need to know how child support payments will be calculated in Illinois.

For the most part, child support payments are calculated based on a number of factors including the income of both parents and other expenses related to the child’s needs, such as medical, dental, and daycare. Usually the noncustodial parent will be assigned a certain percentage to pay based on how many children are in the family:

• One child—20% income
• Two children—28% income
• Three children—32% income

At Stock, Carlson, Flynn and McGrath, LLC, our attorneys understand there are a variety of complex disputes that occur in a divorce, especially where children are concerned. Not only are there issues involving child support, but disputes over custody and visitation rights and possible questions about paternity, may also add to the frustration regarding child support.
