Hello, I was wondering if anyone had any insight on how to find the laws in Illinois for child support, visitation, and things along those lines. Also does anyone know if I can look up the guidelines for my county regarding those kinds of things. Like what the judges usually go by. Thank you for your help.. Take care- ;)

I found the state regulations on CS, but nothing else. My favorite is that the guidelines for setting CS is very short, but there is a HUGE section on what happens when someone doesn't pay. If you find what you are looking for, please post where as I would love to find that same info.

The link is;
http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/ilcs/ilcs3.asp?ActID=2086&ChapAct=750%26nbsp%3BILCS%26nbsp%3B5%2F&ChapterID=59&ChapterName=FAMILIES&ActName=Illinois+Marriage+and+Dissolution+of+Marriage+Act%2E
Check Part V for the information. Here is the CS guidline;
(750 ILCS 5/505) (from Ch. 40, par. 505)
Sec. 505. Child support; contempt; penalties.
(a) In a proceeding for dissolution of marriage, legal separation, declaration of invalidity of marriage, a proceeding for child support following dissolution of the marriage by a court which lacked personal jurisdiction over the absent spouse, a proceeding for modification of a previous order for child support under Section 510 of this Act, or any proceeding authorized under Section 501 or 601 of this Act, the court may order either or both parents owing a duty of support to a child of the marriage to pay an amount reasonable and necessary for his support, without regard to marital misconduct. The duty of support owed to a child includes the obligation to provide for the reasonable and necessary physical, mental and emotional health needs of the child. For purposes of this Section, the term "child" shall include any child under age 18 and any child under age 19 who is still attending high school.
(1) The Court shall determine the minimum amount of
support by using the following guidelines:
Number of Children Percent of Supporting Party's
Net Income
1 20%
2 28%
3 32%
4 40%
5 45%
6 or more 50%
(2) The above guidelines shall be applied in each
case unless the court makes a finding that application of the guidelines would be inappropriate, after considering the best interests of the child in light of evidence including but not limited to one or more of the following relevant factors:
(a) the financial resources and needs of the
child;
(b) the financial resources and needs of the
custodial parent;
(c) the standard of living the child would have
enjoyed had the marriage not been dissolved;
(d) the physical and emotional condition of the
child, and his educational needs; and
(e) the financial resources and needs of the
non‑custodial parent.
If the court deviates from the guidelines, the
court's finding shall state the amount of support that would have been required under the guidelines, if determinable. The court shall include the reason or reasons for the variance from the guidelines.
(3) "Net income" is defined as the total of all
income from all sources, minus the following deductions:
(a) Federal income tax (properly calculated
withholding or estimated payments);
(b) State income tax (properly calculated
withholding or estimated payments);
(c) Social Security (FICA payments);
(d) Mandatory retirement contributions required
by law or as a condition of employment;
(e) Union dues;
(f) Dependent and individual
health/hospitalization insurance premiums;
(g) Prior obligations of support or maintenance
actually paid pursuant to a court order;
(h) Expenditures for repayment of debts that
represent reasonable and necessary expenses for the production of income, medical expenditures necessary to preserve life or health, reasonable expenditures for the benefit of the child and the other parent, exclusive of gifts. The court shall reduce net income in determining the minimum amount of support to be ordered only for the period that such payments are due and shall enter an order containing provisions for its self‑executing modification upon termination of such payment period.
