Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

I have 2 children by 2 different women who live in 2 different states...1 in Missouri and 1 in Illinois. How will my child support be calculated? I live in Illinois and I know Illinois like for 2 children it is 25% of my income, but since they live in 2 different states, will it still only be 25% of my total income or how will they calculate that?

Your presumption is wrong. I do not know MI law but assume it is the same percentage. You pay 20% of your net for the oldest child, then 20% of the net deducting the child support order would be the order. So if your net is 500 per week ; 100 for the eldest kid and then 80 for the second kid, or in effect 36%
