Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

child support

I currently receive child support and have residential custody of my two children. We do have joint custody. If I make limited income (less than 20 k per year) and he makes decent income 120-150k per year... and the kids end up living there as residential custody instead would he still need to pay child support? I did not ask for mait. in our divorce.

Re: child support

If the children live with him, then he can (and probably will) ask for his child support to be terminated. And it would be granted. It seems only fair that he not pay you child support when he is paying for the children himself.

Re: child support

He not only does not have to pay you child support, the court will order you to pay it to him. The non-residential parent pays. Your financial differences mean nothing under the law.
