Illinois SB3524 amends child support laws to adjust calculations for shared physical care, modify support during incarceration, and set minimum.
Illinois SB3524 amends the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act to revise child support calculations. It introduces a shared physical care adjustment, multiplying the basic child support obligation by 1.5 for parents with significant overnights. The bill also modifies support during incarceration, presuming a parent incarcerated for over 180 days unable to pay support, which can be rebutted. Additionally, it sets a minimum child support obligation of $40 per month per child for parents with low income, unless it causes economic hardship.
