Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

I need to know about child support payment amounts and the laws that apply for t
I will be soon seeking a divorce from my wife. We have three children, and I'm in the military. What percentage of my pay will go to the support of my children, and is it the same percentage for each child? i.e. (% for the first child, % for the second child,__% for the third child, or whatever. Also, my wife is currently recieving partial SSI payments for two of our three children, however, this will be increased to the maximum amount once we are divorced, because since she does'nt work, she will be entitled to full benefits for the two children since I no longer support her. Would that affect the amount I would have to pay in child support monthly? If she gets a job and has a considerable income before we are divorced, how would that affect how much I would have to pay in child support monthly? When seeking an attourney for my divorce, should I seek out one who has experience with military law? Will I be required to pay alimony?

Thank You

Best advice I can give: contact a local attorney who is knowledgable in both military and domestic relations law.
