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!"
Choosing the right law firm can change everything. At O’Flaherty Law, we pride ourselves on transparency, responsiveness, and personalized care. See how we compare to the industry standard.
Child support is determined using the Income Shares model, which takes into account the net incomes of both parents, number of children, and some parenting-time arrangements. The aim is to estimate what the two parents would have contributed to their children’s needs if they were living together, and to assign that responsibility according to their means. Illinois has a different shared-care calculation that is used when each parent has at least 146 overnights with a child each year.
A child support case can be more than just calculating a basic monthly payment. Courts can also consider health insurance, uncovered medical expenses, child care costs and other expenses of raising a child. If a parent is self employed, owns a business, or is voluntarily unemployed or underemployed, income can also be a complicated issue. Understanding the family’s finances can be an important part of reaching an appropriate support order.
Whether you’re establishing child support for the first time, seeking a modification, or have an enforcement issue, O’Flaherty Law can help you understand your options and what lies ahead. Our attorneys serve parents in Waukegan and throughout Lake County to evaluate income, parenting schedules, expenses and current court orders. We focus on practical solutions that protect your financial interests and your children’s needs. In Illinois, modification of an existing child support order is generally permitted when there has been a substantial change in circumstances.
