Chicago Child Support Attorney Molly E. Caesar Explains How Illinois Calculates and Enforces Support Orders

  • Illinois uses the income shares approach for child support, reflecting what parents would spend if living together, according to Molly E. Caesar.
  • Courts calculate each parent's monthly net income, combine them, and use the HFS Schedule of Basic Child Support Obligations to find the baseline amount, Caesar explains.
  • Shared parenting with 146 or more overnights each applies a formula multiplying the basic obligation by 1.5 to cover two households, according to Caesar.
  • Income can only be imputed after a hearing or agreement with written findings, and modifications affect future payments after proper notice, advises Caesar.
