Child Custody And Support Modifications

When child custody, child support and spousal support arrangements are created, they reflect the current living situations of the parties involved. In reality, most people’s circumstances change over time, and the support or custody arrangement should change to match.

People lose work and get promotions. They move. Children grow up and have different needs. Moreover, the law concerning custody and parenting time may be subject to change as was the case on Jan. 1, 2016, when the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act went into effect. Whenever there is a substantial change in circumstances, it is important to work with an experienced Libertyville child support and child custody attorney who can help modify your arrangements to reflect your current living situation.

Understanding Changes To Support Payments

Child support is a percentage of your net income that is determined by statutory guidelines and the number of children you have. To arrive at net income, taxes, Medicare payments, mandatory retirement contributions and health insurance premiums are deducted from the payer’s gross income. If you have a prior support obligation, that can also be deducted.

If you are laid off through no fault of your own, your support payments may change. We can help you modify your payments to reflect your situation.

Changes To Child Custody Arrangements

When arrangements regarding the children are considered, the first and foremost standard is determining what is in their best interests. If the children are in danger, modifications can be made quickly to protect their well-being. If there has been a significant change in circumstances — such as a drastic change in schedule or job relocation — we can help you modify your custody arrangements.
