Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois
Child Support
In my divorce settlement it states that child support for my three kids was to be 32% of my exhusband's net income. The amount that I recieved was based on $60,000. He made over $100,000 for five years and I continued to recieve the same amount of support. Can I file for the amount of money that I should have recieved?

Re: Child Support
Hello. According to the present
language in the statute, a court
has to specify a specific amount as
and for child support and percentages
are no longer allowed. However, I suggests that you get back in court as soon as possible and ask for an increase in child support. Whether you can go back and seek the child
support that should have been paid, is
within the sound discretion of the court. I will be happy to discuss
this further and in more detail.
