Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

Re: child support

No, she is not entitled to a penny of your income (even though your husband might be required to show how your income supports him, and if it does, it could require him to pay a higher percentage of his own income to his ex). Generally, the 25% of his own income that he pays is all that he�d be required to pay, unless the amount of money he gets from you is substantial. Think of it this way, if he changed jobs so that all he earned was $100 per week (thereby reducing support to $25 per week), but he lived in a house and environ where $10,000 per week from you was spent to support him, the court could not ignore the obvious (i.e., that he gets income from his spouse).

Don�t become involved in her claims that the law says this or the law says that.

Re: child support

Let her try to get it legally through the courts if that is what she wants - the law does not support her version of this.
