Guidelines For Child Support

The Illinois Department of Health Care and Family Services is to adopt rules
establishing child support guidelines which include worksheets for calculating
the child support and a table to show the percentage of the combined net
income “the parents living in the same household in this State ordinarily spend
on their children.
Past Law For Child Custody

Under past law, child support was based on the net income of the child support
payer. It is 20% for one child, 28% for two, 32% for three, and 40% for four.
Net income is defined in 750 ILCS 5/505 as gross income minus certain specified
deductions.
New Statute For Child Support

In the fall of 2016, the Illinois Legislature passed and the Governor signed a
new statute that completely changes the way child support is calculated in
Illinois. The new law takes effect July 1, 2017.
