Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

My son paid his ex wife, in Chicago, 20% of everything he earned for child support for the two years he was working. When he lost his job 21/2 years ago his judge refused to reduce his child support payments. The judge now threatens that when he gets a job 100% of whatever he ears will have to go for the accumulated payments during that interval even though he actually earned nothing during the period.. Is this legal ? Are there cases in Illinois that should be studied for relevance to this decision or can the judge just do whatever she wants.

thanks for any light you can shed on this matter.
