Who pays child support and how much needs to be paid are
critical issues in a divorce proceeding.
In the Land of Lincoln, the state legislature has decided that child
support for one child is calculated at 20% of one’s net income from all sources
of revenue that they may receive.
"Net income" is generally defined as total gross income less
maintenance/alimony, income taxes, health insurance premiums and a few other
allowable deductions.
Now here is the important part…with each additional child
the percentage of support payments does not double, but rather goes up by a
certain percentage. Sometimes daycare is
added to that figure and a special needs child may require further support.
As you can easily see this is a rather slippery slope and a
knowledgeable divorce attorney is a must to sort out what is and is NOT fair
compensation. Vince Ruggiero has
practiced family law in DuPage, Will, Kane, and Cook County for decades. He knows from experience the questions you
will have and the answers that you need.
