Child custody and child support are common types of cases for our Orland Park family law lawyers. Under the IMDMA, courts do not use the term “child custody” any longer, however. Instead, courts allocate parental responsibilities to one or both parents. Those parental responsibilities include significant decision-making responsibilities and parenting time.
Child support in Illinois is calculated according to the income shares model, which means the court will consider the income of both parents when determining the child support obligation. Then, the court will apportion the child support obligation based on each parent’s net income, number of overnights or parenting time with the child, and other relevant factors.
Establishing paternity can be essential for many types of family law cases, including child custody and child support matters. The process of establishing paternity is governed by the Illinois Parentage Act of 2015.
