Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

Child Support - 2nd Opinion

Sorry for reposting, but there's no option to reply to my original question.

The responses have raised another question, and that is what if custody is 50/50? Right now we have a verbal agreement to a pretty even 50/50 visitation. Mon/Tue with mom, Wed/Thr with dad, rotate Fri-Sun every other weekend. I wouldn't think this affects child support. Also, my house is used as my daughter's residence for school, mom lives out of district.

Thanks for your help.

I'm looking to get a 2nd opinion on how child support is calculated in Illinois. My attorney has told me that it's 20% of the difference of mine and my ex's net income. Everything I've read is that it should be a straight 20% of my net income only. My attorney is a family law attorney that's in court every day. Is it possible that I would only be liable for the 20% of the difference. How?

We separated last November. There is currently no ruling. We just have a verbal agreement as to what I am paying.
