At the Law Offices of Susan Parnell Wilson, we are prepared to walk you through the difficult process of obtaining child support and spousal support or defending against an unfair amount of either form of support.
Belleville Child Support Attorney
Child support is a necessary element of divorce when children are involved. It is highly regulated by the statues. The net income of the parent who is to pay is determined and used to calculate a percentage paid according to child support guidelines. The Illinois statutory guidelines are usually strictly enforced, although we assist our clients, if needed, to find exceptions that might apply to raise or lower the guidelines. Ultimately, the best interest of the child is to be kept at the forefront, as well as the overall circumstances of both parents.
Our lawyers also assist in child support modifications.
Illinois Spousal Support and Maintenance Attorney
Spousal support is a much more complex issue. There is no formula to quickly calculate this sum, and many factors come into play. For example, if one spouse has supported the other at the expense of his or her own career and professional development, he or she may be entitled to certain spousal support benefits.
Common examples of this are:
- If a nonmilitary spouse has traveled with the military serviceman or woman, moving and uprooting each time the spouse advances in rank, there is little room for professional improvement.
- One spouse put the other through school at the expense of his or her own education and professional development.
We are prepared to represent your interests and help you get off to the best start possible in the new chapter of your life that you are about to begin. Our personable and comprehensive lawyers will listen to your situation and help you find a spousal support solution that closely meets your specific needs.
