Child Support and Parenting Plans are two different things.
If you want to see the child, you should request it by filing the proper forms.
I took a state issued paternity test, I am the father. Now my ex is withholding my visitation. Claiming I'm not on the birth certificate so I have no right to see my kid. However I still pay child support so how could that be?
answered on Jan 11, 2019
Looks like your name was not on the birth certificate.
Otherwise a DNA test would not have been needed.
What you need is a parenting plan giving you parenting rights.
The fourth form on this web page is the recommended form in Illinois:

Double check your court orders.
If you were and you short changed her, you could have to repay with interest and possibly face contempt of court charges.

This is something the payee's attorney is supposed to take care.
There are penalties for employers for not forwarding the withheld child support in a timely manner.
