Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

Re: joint custody

Yes, you need to ask for a change in visitation and support. This is a post decree Petition to Modify and you should retain an attorney experienced in such Family Law matters. Not properly arguing the matter before the court can cost you since rulings by the court are more difficult to change.

Re: joint custody

You have the right to enforce the Joint Parenting Agrement as written. ZWhat ever it says about weekeneds and nights the court can make her do. If it does not than than you have to go to court and ask for a change in the schedule.

As to reduction in support you have to show the court that there is a significant change in the circumstances for them to allow you to rduce it. You cannot stop paying support unless your client is 18 and outo f high school or otherwise emancipated. You can temporarily stop paying if you are unemployed but you said you still work.

I charge $250 an hour to work on these types of cases. Please call if you have any questions.
