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!"

Illinois generally uses the Income Shares Model to determine child support. The approach takes into account both parents' net income, the number of children to be covered by the order, and the physical care arrangements for the children. The court may also decide on expenses such as health insurance, childcare associated with employment, education, and extracurricular activities. Finances differ from family to family, so careful documentation is essential to establish a fair amount of support.
If a parent loses a job, gets a big raise, becomes self-employed or something else happens that greatly changes the parent’s finances, a child support order may need to be reviewed. The calculation can also be affected by parent time. Illinois uses a shared-care formula if both parents have a minimum of 146 overnights per year with the child. An existing order does not automatically change. Therefore a parent usually has to petition the court or Illinois Child Support Services to modify the order.
