SB3524

CHILD SUPPORT CHANGES

Final Passage·5/21/26

Illinois SB3524 amends child support guidelines, including shared physical care calculations, incarceration impacts, and health insurance provisions.

Illinois SB3524 amends the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act to revise child support guidelines. It introduces a rebuttable presumption that a minimum child support obligation of $40 per month, per child, will be entered for an obligor with certain income levels. The bill also addresses shared physical care, requiring the court to calculate the combined shared care child support obligation by multiplying the basic child support obligation by 1.5. For parents with shared physical care of less than 146 overnights per year, an adjustment is applied.
