Allocation Judgments may also be written so that these responsibilities continue to be shared.
The establishment of a parenting plan is now required under the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, addressing the allocation of parental responsibilities regarding time spent with the child and decision making which affects the child.
If faced with child custody or allocation judgment decisions, be sure to work with an experienced family law attorney who can help you sift through the legal language to help you determine what is best for your child.
Child Support and Modification in Illinois
If you are entering into a child support order or considering requesting a modification, you may be wondering how much you will receive, or have to pay under child support law in Illinois. New laws affecting child support in Illinois took effect July 1, 2017 with the income of both parents now considered when determining a child support order.
The new guidelines in Illinois child support law take relevant factors into consideration which include:
- Financial resources and needs of both parents
- Financial resources and needs of the child
- Current standard of living under the civil union or marriage
- Emotional, physical and educational needs of the child.
- Amount of time the child is with each parent
The Allocation Judgment will affect the support order in that a parent that has limited time with the child such as infrequent overnight visits will pay more than the parent which has the majority of time with the child.
When questions arise regarding child support orders or modification, it is critical to speak with an experienced child support lawyer who understand the laws and all new revisions of the law.
