Navigating child support and remarriage in Illinois? Here's what you need to know! In Illinois, the amount of child support is calculated using an 'income shares' model that considers the combined net income of both parents, number of children, and additional expenses like healthcare and education. Interestingly, if a parent remarries, the new spouse's income does not influence child support obligations, as these payments are solely based on the needs of the child and the financial abilities of the biological parents. Legal support from family law experts is essential to manage these delicate matters effectively, ensuring both compliance with the law and the well-being of the children involved.
