Most factors dealing with child support are determined pursuant to Illinois state statute. However, many clients ask me if they will be eligible to receive child support. In order to receive support, you must have at least one child born to the parties, not necessarily during the marriage, who is currently under 18 years of age. Following that, the court will evaluate the amount of time each parent will spend with the child following the divorce, who is the custodial parent, and the expenses paid by each party on behalf of the child, relative to that party's current income. The court will weigh these factors, and unless the time spent and expenses are close to evenly split or the parties agree, child support would generally be awarded to the custodial parent and the amount will be determined according to state statute.
