Chicago Child Support Lawyers

Illinois Divorce and Child Support Attorneys

One of the issues that may arise in the context of a divorce, civil union dissolution or other family law matter is a child support dispute. The Illinois child support guidelines contain a clear, but complex formula for determining the respective rights and obligations of parents.

The guidelines take into account the net income of the parents, the number of children subject to the support order and many other factors that must be properly considered when a child support award is calculated. Given the complex nature of Illinois child support laws, it is critical that parents obtain highly qualified legal counsel to protect their rights.

Experienced Child Support Attorneys

Contact Jill M. Metz and Associates to discuss your child support matter. For more than 30 years, our attorneys have been advocating passionately on behalf of parents throughout Cook County in family law matters, including child support disputes.

Do not sign an agreement to pay or receive support without first speaking to a lawyer. Our attorneys are adept at handling complex child support issues that may affect your rights, including:

  • Calculation of net income
  • High earner child support issues
  • Child support deviations
  • Tax implications of child support payments
  • Calculation of net income for self-employed parents
  • Consideration of bonus pay and commissions
  • Imputing income to voluntarily unemployed parties

We take time to listen to our clients, understand their financial situation and protect their rights. We will work to resolve your case as efficiently and amicably as possible, but we also have the courtroom experience to protect your rights if necessary.
