Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

child support and student loans

I heard that you can subtract the amount you owe in student loans from your gross income when calculating child support. so, for example, i make $80,000 but have $15,000 in student loans, so I would pay 20% of $65,000 instead of 20% of $80,000 for one child. Can this be done?
