Much the same as any other State: generally, a percentage of net income (gross minus deductions for taxes and health insurance) which increases with the number of children (20% for one child; 25% for two, etc.) with limited exceptions for extraordinary circumstances. (FYI - younger children and/or new spouses are not "extraordinary circumstances").
Rather difficult as they are in cash, but they can use them as calculated income for setting support. see links
In general, child support is a percentage of income after taxes and insurance. In Illinois, it's 20% of net income for one child, 25% for two, etc. Income includes almost everything, including overtime, unemployment benefits and workers compensation, but not welfare payments or SSI.
No. They do not.
In Illinois, each child support payment is a civil judgment.
Child support is calculated on all income you legally make.
no
A child support law in Illinois requires the non-custodial parent to purchase a percentage of their net income child support. The rates are 20% for 1 child, 28% for 2 children and 32% for 3 children.
no
yes
yup
Such a move will not change the amount of support owed. Illinois will likely ask Tennessee to register the support order.
Not exactly. In Illinois, child support cannot be ordered past the age of majority but "education support" can be. One or even both parents may be ordered to pay education support, based on the child's academic expenses. Education support must also be ordered by a judge, separately from a child support order.
