Northbrook Child Support Law Firm
In Illinois, the determination of child support is made by the calculation of Minimum Child Support Guidelines. Even though this calculation is largely formulaic, it is complicated and thus necessary to seek the counsel of an experienced Cook County child support attorney to ensure the calculation is correct.
At the Northbrook Law Offices of Edward I. Stein, we have a great deal of experience guiding clients through all facets of divorce. Most often, issues related to children can be the most vehemently debated. It is our goal to navigate these disagreements and come to a successful resolution in an efficient and cost-effective manner.
While the determination is driven by calculation, it is the job of your attorney to ensure the proper amounts are entered. Variables such as health care costs, day care costs, higher education payments and insurance premiums must be accounted for. The courts can also make exceptions to the child support calculator and go above or below the guidelines. In low or high income situations, or situations where there is a special needs child, the determination of child support is driven by a more flexible approach. Do not hesitate to contact a lawyer at any of our Cook County & Lake County offices for a more detailed discussion of child support and support modifications.
