Hinsdale Child Support Lawyers

Experienced Child Support Attorneys Serving Burr Ridge, Oak Brook, and Western Springs

Determining arrangements for child support is often among the most contentious and difficult issues a couple will ever face. Most parents realize the need for providing financial support for their children, but, in many cases, negotiating the specifics of a support agreement can be extremely stressful.

At the Law Office of Martoccio & Martoccio, we fully understand the difficulties involved and have the experience necessary to assist families of all types with child support disputes. Whether the parents are going through a divorce, or were never married and are dealing with paternity issues, our attorneys will work hard to serve the best interest of our clients and their children.

Qualified Lawyers Who Understand Child Support Laws

State law in Illinois has established a formula for calculating the amount of child support a parent is generally expected to pay. The guidelines direct the court to determine child support as a percentage of the paying parent’s income based on the number of children to be supported. Using the paying parent’s net income, the law establishes recommended minimum payment to be:

  • 20 percent of income for 1 child
  • 28 percent for 2 children
  • 32 percent for 3 children
  • 40 percent for 4 children
  • 45 percent for 5 children and
  • 50 percent for 6 or more children

Working within such guidelines, there would seem to be little that a qualified child support lawyer could offer. However, Illinois law also allows the court to consider the individual circumstances of the case which allow for the increase or decrease of child support requirements as necessary. These factors include the resources and needs of the child and both parents, as well as other considerations.

With more than 75 years of combined legal experience, our skilled attorneys recognize that a suitable child support order serves the needs of the child while balancing the resources and abilities of the parents. We understand the importance of presenting a parents situation accurately and thoroughly to the court to ensure the most equitable outcome.

  • Health insurance and medical expenses
  • Childcare and extracurricular expenses and
  • Non-minor support for college expenses
