Protection in Chicago Child Support Cases

In cases where parents are going through a divorce or if they were never married and now choose to live apart, it is important that both contribute to the expenses associated with raising their child. At Haid & Teich, LLP, we can help you determine your rights and responsibilities in terms of child custody as outlined in the Illinois Statutes (750 ILCS 5/505). Factors that are likely to be a consideration in these proceedings include:

• The amount of time the child spends with each parent, as outlined by parenting plans and time sharing arrangements;
• The age of the child and their individual needs;
• The income and potential earnings of each parent;
• The standard of living the child would have enjoyed had the parents remained together.

When factoring in child support expenses, it is important to include basic costs, such as housing, meals, clothing, transportation, and health care, as well as school and recreational expenses which can quickly add up. In addition to representing you in establishing a child support order, our family law attorneys can also advise you on child support enforcement actions in Cook County and other areas.
