Recent Q&As in Illinois (Child Support)

Ex is refusing to pay expenses because he pays child support | Aug 13, 2026 | Sourced from Reddit
Location: Illinois Child support was declared in 2025 for me based on parenting time of 80/20 which he agreed to as that had been the custody arrangement for 2 years prior. Amount was $800 based on the calculator with the expectation that I handle 60% of the cost of medical and extracurriculars due to the income difference. He has not paid me for a single doctors bill, extracurricular, school expense because he "pays me enough". I freaking warned my shitty ass lawyer that he would pull this and I asked that it be explicitly called out on the arrangement but she said that everyone knows it's outside of what child support covers. He owes me thousands. We recently agreed to 65/35 split because he moved closer to me. Once that got filed , I told him to file the modification with the child support office to get his amount lowered. Based on my calculations, he will now probably owe me , maybe $150 a month. We have a child support hearing on August 28th. Can I bring the backlog up to the judge or will he not want to hear about it? I have proof of everything. I really don't want to pay for yet another lawyer. And on top of this, once the amount gets lowered he still isn't planning to pay me going forward.
