Child Support Attorneys Hinsdale, IL

The child support attorneys of Dan Walker Law Office believe that child support is the right of every child. This must be fulfilled by parents whether they are legally separated, going through a divorce, dissolved their marriage, or even were never married. The Illinois family laws require divorcing parents to provide their children with financial and emotional support, at least until they are of legal age. Since both parents are responsible for the upbringing and support of their children, it is important that child support arrangements reflect the child’s best interests. Child support is generally awarded to the parent with the majority of parenting time so that they can meet the basic life necessities of the children.

Updated Illinois Child Support Laws

The attorneys at Dan Walker Law Office engage in 30 hours of continuing legal education, allowing them to stay up-to-date with the changes made to Illinois laws and regulations. Previously, child support payments were calculated using the percentage model, which considered the number of children of the marriage and the net income of the non-custodial parent.

As of July 1, 2017, Illinois family law courts will use the income shares model that takes into account the net incomes of both parents, as well as the number of children and cost of living. The Total Family Income is calculated considering three important factors, such as basic child support obligation, parenting time, and additional expenses. After it has been calculated, the amount of contribution of each parent is determined based on how much they earn.

At Dan Walker Law Office, we are available for our clients to help file petitions for post-divorce decree modifications whenever the need arises.
