Ensuring Fair Contributions for Your Child’s Care.
Illinois utilizes a complex “income-shares” model to calculate child support, but numbers on a spreadsheet don’t always tell the whole story. We ensure that all sources of income are accurately accounted for, and we argue for deviations when a child’s extraordinary medical, educational, or extracurricular needs require it. Our goal is to ensure your children receive the full financial support they need to thrive.
Property & Real Estate
Child support calculations significantly affect your monthly cash flow, shifting your ability to qualify for new mortgages or manage household expenses. We ensure child support metrics line up with your long-term housing stability.
Legacy & Estate Planning
Child support terminates at adulthood, but a child’s long-term legacy does not. We establish secondary college savings accounts (529 plans) and special needs trusts within your broader estate plan to fund your child’s future milestones.
Business & Commercial Interests
For self-employed individuals, separating personal income from business deductions is notoriously complex. We audit corporate balance sheets to ensure child support metrics are fair, preventing the drain of vital company operating capital.
