Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

Re: Divorce and child support

Hello. When you file for divorce there is a

stage in the proceedings when the judge will

award you temporary child support, after granting

you custody. When the case is final then the

temporary child support order is considered a

permanent child support order which can be changed as your children grow older and need more. However, your husband's disability could

be a problem for you. I am unsure of your work

status, but since he is disabled there is the

possibility that he might ask for maintenance

from you. Of course your financial situation

is a big factor in what a court may do. I will

be happy to answer any additional questions that

you might have.
