Child Custody: Creating a Plan That is Best for Your Child
In a custody situation, we represent you as a parent who is focused on meeting the best interests of your child. In developing a plan for custody and support, we take the following into consideration:
-
Custody
In sole custody, one parent is granted authority to make major decisions for the child. These decisions can include heath care, schooling and religion. It is possible to fashion a custody order that specifies topics a sole custodian has control over.
In joint custody, both parents make major decisions on the same level. One person is usually assumes the role of primary decision maker in case of disagreement. -
Physical Custody and Visitation
Physical custody can be either joint or sole. It can be worked out in any way in which the parents agree or the court orders. Visitation schedules may be made on any level as long as the plan maintains what is best for the child.
Child Support: Maintaining Your Child's Standard of Living
Illinois guidelines detail the percentage of child support that is paid by the non-custodial parent. There are exceptions to these guidelines, but they are very limited.
The amount of child support a parent pays is partially determined by the number of children they have. Factors such as net income, health insurance and daycare costs are also calculated. Certain court-approved add-ons may also become part of the support.
