Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

child support hearing

My ex-wife recently asked for tax returns from 3 prior years. Obvioulsy her attorney is asking for a hearing to raise child support obligation. The hard part I live in Texas, the hearing takes place in Illinois. It is highly unlikely I can be in Illinois when the hearing takes place. Any options?
