Chicago, IL asked in Child Custody, Child Support and Divorce for Illinois

Q: mother of my son and I married 7 yrs ago. Separated 3 weeks after. Want to get a divorce. Can I avoid child support?

We have a great relationship. She says she doesn’t want any money at all from me except the amount we originally agreed on. Aside from that, I continue to buy him whatever he may need, he’s with me 3-4 days out of the week, and he’s on my insurance. Doesn’t want to fight me over anything. Just wants this to go smoothly for our son. Thanks!
