Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

Possible Child Support Dilema

I live in Illinois and so does my

daughter and her mother. She

wants to move to New

York and we have to redo some

things in our divorce/child support

court papers. My

paycheck has doubled since we last

went to court for child support. I

know the judge

will make my child support go up, but

a third of what my W-2 shows is

commisions for

doing freelance work. One paycheck,

I might have $1,000 in commisions

on there,

and the next I could only have $100.

How will the judge determine what I

have to

do, because if he says to pay 20% of

my W-2, and I only have $100, or

even $0.00 in

commisions on a paycheck, number

wise, I could have to pay 35-50% of

my

paycheck, and I wouldn't be able to

afford my bills. What do you think

could happen?
