Helping Parents Get to the Bottom of Child Support

Child support is a pretty central part of a family law case - whether you're starting to figure this out for the first time, fighting a request for child support or trying to go back in and change an order, having the right advice can really help you stay out of trouble and avoid some steep bills. At O’Flaherty Law, our Palatine child support lawyers sit down with parents to break down income, parenting schedules, expenses for the kids and what their long-term goals are.

How Child Support Works In Illinois

Illinois gets its child support from an income shares model - so basically the court takes a good hard look at both parents incomes, the number of children and how many days a year each parent gets to spend with the kids. And then there are also all the other expenses you'd expect - health insurance, medical bills, daycare, school costs, and all those extracurricular activities the kids are going to want to get into. Because each family is completely different, it’s just not as simple as just crunching some numbers.

Why You Should Trust O’Flaherty Law with Your Child Support Case

We help people in and around Palatine with child support cases that are wrapped up in divorce, figuring out who the non-biological parent is, custody battles and even revising existing agreements. We make sure to explain what your options are, prep you for what to expect and will make sure you know what the court needs from you. Our aim is to get you a fair, reasonable deal that really puts your kid’s needs first.
