Child Support in Cook, Dupage, Kane, McHenry, Lake, Will and Kendall counties in Illinois
Illinois has adopted standard guidelines that regulate the whether or not child support will be paid and the amount that will be paid. This can make it easy to determine what the child support payment will be.
Carol Jacobs Gabe can help you receive the amount according to Illinois law. She'll be there fighting for your rights in situations where using the guidelines might not result in fair and just child support or when the amounts are disputed. For example:
- More support may be necessary if you have a special needs child
- Child support obligations from prior relationships might impact current child support
- Unemployed or underemployed noncustodial parents have to be taken into consideration
Post High School Education Expenses
In Illinois, termination of child support occurs at the age of 18. If the child is still in high school, it's terminated at age 19 or graduation, whichever is first.
However, what about child support if your child decides to go to college or pursue other post high school education? Illinois law provides that the court may make provisions for the education expenses of the child after the age of 18.
Caryl Jacobs Gabe will work you to determine the amount necessary to get your child through his/her next educational phase. She'll fight for your rights to receive the child support for these important expenses.
Ms. Gabe's experience with resolving child support disputes will protect your interests and just as important, the interest of your child. She can also represent you if you need to modify or enforce child support decrees because of changed situations or failure to pay.
