You r liable for child support for your daughter on birth certificate til she is 18. She can file for c.s. forward, not backward. It is based on your curent income but could be averaged if u have a job that fluctuates.

If the money is not owed to the state, you and she can pretty much work out whatever you want.

As long as it is not unconscionable.

Nothing counts until a judge approves it.

Ishe has to claim it as part of her income but that amount does ot decrease your husband's responsibility.

Looks like she is using grandma for permanent babysitting.

You can go to court to ask for a Parenting Plan favorable to you since mom does not want to be involved.

I believe the minimum is $40/mo. U have to prove his income. Its hard to do.

No back support. Yes, she can file for cs. And a parenting time schedule can be put in place. The circumstances of ur older children, unless in college, do not have any bearing on this one.

Your best bet is to go back to your attorney a month or two before the child's 18th birthday and have them file a petition asking the court to set a specific cut-off date for the support. You may still be liable for the expense of secondary education, but you will have clearly established when... View More

If there was only one child and he was paying support and the child died, he needs to go to court to terminate it.

As to the car, depending on how the divorcement reads, she may be in contempt for failure to make the payments.

You need to see a lawyer ASAP. You're right about a DNA test being necessary. If you haven't deleted the text message yet, be sure you keep it. The public policy of the State of Illinois favors both parents having a relationship with a child, so yes, he may have rights. Off the top of my... View More

No back support without court order. File a motion for temporary child support.

Talk to a lawyer about filing the divorce. He or she should include a request for child support, so it can all be done in the same proceeding. You can get temporary support paid during the time the divorce is working its way through court.

As a general rule, the courts will impute income to a parent who manipulates the system to reduce or eliminate their income. In other words, if the ex was making $500 per week and quits his job without a valid reason, the courts will treat him as if he continues to make $500 per week when... View More

Child support and visitation (now it is called parenting plan) are two separate issues.

I don't know if you are working with an attorney or not, and I don't know if you are married with him or not. I would suggest that you should consult with an attorney, either a private attorney or the State's Attorney.

The court, at its discretion, will either dismiss or strike the underlying petition or motion, or it will continue the matter to another date.

You ought to hire a lawyer to file a Petition for Adjudication of Civil Contempt. Bring a copy of the most recent court orders involving child support to your first appointment, together with payment records of what you've received. If you don't have the payment records your attorney can... View More

Illinois no longer has custody and visitation.

It has parenting plans which spell out responsibilities of the parents and who has them and when.

If you two cannot agree, the court will order mediation and if that doesn't work, hold a hearing and decide.

Look at the... View More

If you want support you've got to go to court and ask for it. To get it you'll need to prove he's the biological father with DNA tests, unless he admits he's the father in court. The court can order the DNA tests be taken.

If he is found to be the father the court can... View More
