Illinois Child Support LawyersChild support is a common issue that is handled in Divorce, legal separation proceedings or between unmarried parents. Support is normally awarded to the custodial parent of a child from the non-custodial parent until the child turns 18. There are some exceptions to this norm, however. Generally, the child possesses the right to child support, though payments are made to the child’s custodian.
