Child Support

Wheaton Child Support Attorney

At Anderson & Associates, P.C. we have helped many families deal with child support issues.

In Illinois, child support is usually paid by the non-custodial parent for the support, maintenance and education of the children. In addition to child support, the court can order the non-custodial parent to pay his/her share of the child’s future health care expenses not covered by insurance and the reasonable child care expenses when the custodial parent is working or attending school. Child support stops when a child reaches the age of 19 or earlier if emancipated, although payments can continue beyond the age of 19 if a child remains dependent because of illness, disability, or the pursuit of post-secondary education.

Illinois courts determine child support payments by using the Child Support Guidelines. The amount of support is based on the income of the non-custodial parent. The percentages are as follows:

The attorneys of Anderson & Associates, P.C. work with our client to determine their net income and the net income of their spouses to determine the amount of child support to be paid. For the sake of child support, net income is all income minus state and federal taxes, Social Security and Medicare payments, mandatory retirement contributions, union dues, healthcare premiums, and prior child support obligations. Our goal when dealing with child support issues is to assure that the children do not suffer as a result of the divorce, while providing our client with enough money to support themselves and their families.

We apply Illinois child support guidelines to the financial situation of each spouse to develop fair and enforceable agreements.
