Deviations in the Child Support Amount
In Illinois, guidelines in the statutes determine the level of required child support. In most cases, child support is determined by a percentage of the payor's net income. The level is also based on the number of children, the residency time of the children with each parent and other factors. Among the most important of these are health insurance costs, daycare expenses and college and post-secondary education expenses.
It is important then, to undertake a full and comprehensive analysis of all of the expenses and needs of a child in order to determine the correct level of child support. The child support level can vary significantly, depending on how this analysis is conducted.
Our attorneys are skilled at analyzing these factors and have a great deal of experience in obtaining child support orders which deviate from the statutory guidelines.
Once it is in place, a child support order can be modified when a significant change in circumstances occurs — such as a change in income due to a job layoff, promotion or change in the child's needs. Calabrese Associates, P.C. can review your situation and then go to court to obtain a modification in the child support level.

When a parent owns a business or is attempting to hide income, special efforts must be made to determine the appropriate child support level. Calabrese Associates, P.C. has experience in these and other complex child support issues, and will work diligently to achieve your goals.
