HOW IS CHILD SUPPORT CALCULATED IN ILLINOIS?

In Illinois, there is a general formula on how child support is calculated. Typically, the non-custodial parent must pay a percentage of their income, which flunctuates depending on the number of children for which support must be paid. The percentage is based on the gross income of the individual after subtracting certain allowable deductions such as taxes, union dues, mandatory retirement contributions, medical expenses, medical insurance for dependants, and several other items. Regarding the percentage of income that must be paid, state statute begins child support at 20% of the resulting income, but it can rise to as much as 50% if there are six or more children to support.
