Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

See 750 ILCS 5/505 and 5/505.1. Yes they can put him in jail, usually 6 months is the limit. But each case is different.

Hello. My response here is based upon the statement that you posted on this website. A judge in Illinois has the power to hold your husband in contempt of court, after a hearing on the issue of his failure to pay child support. You should hire an attorney to represent you, if you don't already have one. A petition for rule to show cause should be filed, if you have not already done so. I am unable to give you a more detailed response based upon the fact that there are points that may have been left out in your posting such as when you were last in court. There are additional comments and suggestions that I can make.
