Helping Families Find Fair Child Support Solutions

Child support is intended to make sure children get the financial support they need from both parents. In Illinois, support is usually calculated using the Income Shares Model, which takes into account the income of both parents, the time they spend with the child, and other factors like health insurance and childcare expenses. The guidelines are a starting point, but every family is unique. At O’Flaherty Law, we take the time to understand your goals and help you achieve a fair outcome, based upon the facts.

Expert Representation in Child Support Matters

If you are setting up child support for the first time or trying to change an order, legal representation can prevent costly errors. Our attorneys assist clients with calculating support, enforcing support, income issues, changing support after a job change, and problems with non-payment of child support. We are practical and solution focused. We will keep you informed throughout the process so you understand your rights and options at all times.
