How Is Child Support Calculated in Illinois?
Illinois child support calculations are based on the combined net income of both parents, with 20% of that income being allocated to child support. The amount each parent is responsible for paying depends on their respective income and the amount of parenting time each parent has with the child. If there are special circumstances—such as a high-net-worth situation or a child with special needs—adjustments can be made.
If there is a significant change in either parent’s financial situation, such as a job loss, health issue, or increase in income, you may need to modify your child support agreement. Our experienced attorneys will help guide you through the modification process to ensure a fair and just arrangement for your child.
