FAQ
A letter of agreement between two parents should clearly state the terms of their co-parenting arrangement, including custody, visitation, decision-making responsibilities, and financial obligations. Both parents should sign the letter, which should be notarized to ensure enforceability.
Total Support Obligation The state of Illinois says the basic child support for one child is $1,215 per month. Multiply this number by the number of children to get the basic support obligation.
The varying yardsticks create some surprising results. For example, New Jersey ranks 47th in child support payments, even though it's one of the most expensive states in which to live. Massachusetts is first, and Nevada second.
In Illinois, the amount of child support is primarily determined using the “income shares” model, which considers the combined income of both parents to ensure that the child maintains a standard of living similar to what they would have if the parents were still together.
Child support is considered a right of the child, and parents cannot legally agree to waive it entirely. However, parents can agree to modify the amount of child support if they can show that the standard guidelines would be unfair or inequitable in their particular case.
Begin by opening a case with your local family court and filing a petition for allocation of parental responsibilities. The petition may be submitted independently or as part of a divorce, separation, order of protection or parentage case.
How do I get a copy of my order? If your order was issued in court, you should call the circuit clerk in the county where your order was issued. For administrative orders, complete and mail the Request for a Certified Copy of the Administrative Support Order form.
