Child Support Guidelines And Assistance From A Buffalo Grove And Palatine Lawyer
As a knowledgeable Lake County child support lawyer, Rickey J. Ament knows what steps need to be taken to protect your child's best interests as well as your own. He is familiar with many aspects of the child support system and the child support guidelines, including:
- Uncovering hidden assets that the other party may be attempting to hide
- Obtaining modifications of current child support orders

If you have two children, you should know that the statute has changed and you should be receiving 28 percent of the other parent's net income, not 25 percent. If you are receiving child support at 25 percent, consult with an experienced Lake County child support lawyer to discuss a possible modification.
Child Support Modifications In Illinois
Child support is always modifiable when requested by either the party paying or receiving the support, and where there is a change in circumstances as provided by statute. A change in circumstances could be when:
- The parent paying support loses his or her job
- The income of the party paying support increases
- The cost of raising the child increases
Sometimes, there is a mistake in the divorce order that results in your receiving less child support than you are entitled. It is important to consult with a skilled family law attorney to determine whether or not you should modify your support award.
