Kevin's firm handled setting up my will and trust recently. They took something that seemed intimidating and made it easy to understand. I've also referred a couple clients to Kevin - he's trustworthy, approachable and very fairly priced.
"I've used Kevin and his firm's services since 2011. He gave undivided attention to my cases, advised me on different options and..."
"Kevin was extremely professional, responsive and knowledgeable when I came to him for help. I would definitely recommend O'Flaherty Law!"

Child support is calculated with a formula based on income shares. It takes into consideration the net income of each parent, the number of children and amount of parenting time. The objective is to figure out how much the parents would have spent to support their children if they had lived together and then to assign that cost between them. Illinois has a separate shared-care formula that applies when both parents have at least 146 overnights with the child each year, which takes into account the amount of parenting time each parent has.
A child support case can also cover expenses in addition to the basic monthly support requirement. Illinois courts may determine what amounts of reasonable child care, health insurance premiums, uninsured medical expenses, and certain school or extracurricular expenses are appropriate. With each family’s income, parenting schedule and expenses varying, understanding what should be included in a support order can be just as important as calculating the initial monthly amount. Our Bloomington child support lawyers can review the financial details of your case and help you pursue an arrangement that reflects the needs of your child and your situation.
Child support orders are not necessarily appropriate forever. A modification may be justified by job loss, a substantial change in income, changes in parenting time or other significant circumstances. In Illinois, either parent can request a change, but generally a support order does not change automatically just because your financial situation has changed. O’Flaherty Law can help Bloomington parents determine if a modification is appropriate, prepare the financial information needed, and resolve disputes over the calculation, modification, or enforcement of child support.
