HB2542

Illinois HB2542 amends child support guidelines for shared physical care.

HB2542 amends the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act to change the child support formula for shared physical care. If each parent exercises 3,504 hours or more per year with the child, the basic child support obligation is multiplied by 1.5. The bill also allows courts to deviate from the guidelines if application would be inequitable, unjust, or inappropriate. Other provisions address health insurance, child care expenses, and penalties for non-compliance.
