Professional, Experienced Representation From a Qualified Illinois Child Support Attorney

As parents, most of us work hard to provide our children with the things they deserve. Meeting their basic material needs for a stable family home, transportation, clothing, and putting food on the table can be difficult enough, not to mention the additional responsibility of providing for their education, recreational, and social needs. At the SAM LAW OFFICE, LLC, we understand how important these things can be for your child’s physical and emotional development, and the role that child support plays in ensuring these needs are met. Our experienced Cook County, Du Page, Lake and McHenry County child support attorneys offer professional, experienced legal representation to assist you in making sure your children receive the financial support they are entitled to.

Aggressive Legal Representation For Cook County Child Support Matters

Paying child support is not optional in the state of Illinois. Under the Illinois Compiled Statutes (750 ILCS 5/505), parents have a duty and obligation to support their children, regardless of the relationship that exists between the mother and the father. This obligation extends to all expenses deemed reasonable and necessary to their development, including their educational, physical, mental and emotional needs. Regardless of the type of employment or the amount of income the parent makes, court guidelines require a minimum contribution of between 20 and 50 percent of the parent’s net income from all sources. In cases where a parent claims to be unemployed, the court can set an amount based on what the parent would likely be able to earn, based on their skills and education level and the unemployed parent can be ordered to complete a daily job search diary.
