25 (Source: P.A. 89-92, eff. 7-1-96; 89-626, eff. 8-9-96.)
26 Section 15. The Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of
27 Marriage Act is amended by changing Section 505 as follows:
28 (750 ILCS 5/505) (from Ch. 40, par. 505)
29 Sec. 505. Child support; contempt; penalties.
30 (a) In a proceeding for dissolution of marriage, legal
31 separation, declaration of invalidity of marriage, a
-4- LRB9104139SMdv
1 proceeding for child support following dissolution of the
2 marriage by a court which lacked personal jurisdiction over
3 the absent spouse, a proceeding for modification of a
4 previous order for child support under Section 510 of this
5 Act, or any proceeding authorized under Section 501 or 601 of
6 this Act, the court may order either or both parents owing a
7 duty of support to a child of the marriage to pay an amount
8 reasonable and necessary for his support, without regard to
9 marital misconduct. The duty of support owed to a minor
10 child includes the obligation to provide for the reasonable
11 and necessary physical, mental and emotional health needs of
12 the child.
13 (1) The Court shall determine the minimum amount of
14 support by using the following guidelines:
15 Number of Children Percent of Supporting Party's
16 Net Income
17 1 20%
18 2 25%
19 3 32%
20 4 40%
21 5 45%
22 6 or more 50%
23 (2) The above guidelines shall be applied in each
24 case unless the court makes a finding that application of
25 the guidelines would be inappropriate, after considering
26 the best interests of the child in light of evidence
27 including but not limited to one or more of the following
28 relevant factors:
29 (a) the financial resources and needs of the
30 child;
31 (b) the financial resources and needs of the
32 custodial parent;
33 (c) the standard of living the child would
34 have enjoyed had the marriage not been dissolved;
-5- LRB9104139SMdv
1 (d) the physical and emotional condition of
2 the child, and his educational needs; and
3 (e) the financial resources and needs of the
4 non-custodial parent.
5 If the court deviates from the guidelines, the
6 court's finding shall state the amount of support that
7 would have been required under the guidelines, if
8 determinable. The court shall include the reason or
9 reasons for the variance from the guidelines.
10 (3) "Net income" is defined as the total of all
11 income from all sources, minus the following deductions:
12 (a) Federal income tax (properly calculated
13 withholding or estimated payments);
14 (b) State income tax (properly calculated
15 withholding or estimated payments);
16 (c) Social Security (FICA payments);
17 (d) Mandatory retirement contributions
18 required by law or as a condition of employment;
19 (e) Union dues;
20 (f) Dependent and individual
21 health/hospitalization insurance premiums;
22 (g) Prior obligations of support or
23 maintenance actually paid pursuant to a court order;
24 (h) Expenditures for repayment of debts that
25 represent reasonable and necessary expenses for the
26 production of income, medical expenditures necessary
27 to preserve life or health, reasonable expenditures
28 for the benefit of the child and the other parent,
29 exclusive of gifts. The court shall reduce net
30 income in determining the minimum amount of support
31 to be ordered only for the period that such payments
32 are due and shall enter an order containing
33 provisions for its self-executing modification upon
34 termination of such payment period.
-6- LRB9104139SMdv
1 (4) In cases where the court order provides for
2 health/hospitalization insurance coverage pursuant to
3 Section 505.2 of this Act, the premiums for that
4 insurance, or that portion of the premiums for which the
5 supporting party is responsible in the case of insurance
6 provided through an employer's health insurance plan
7 where the employer pays a portion of the premiums, shall
8 be subtracted from net income in determining the minimum
9 amount of support to be ordered.
10 (4.5) In a proceeding for child support following
11 dissolution of the marriage by a court that lacked
12 personal jurisdiction over the absent spouse, and in
13 which the court is requiring payment of support for the
14 period before the date an order for current support is
15 entered, there is a rebuttable presumption that the
16 supporting party's net income for the prior period was
17 the same as his or her net income at the time the order
18 for current support is entered.
19 (5) If the net income cannot be determined because
20 of default or any other reason, the court shall order
21 support in an amount considered reasonable in the
22 particular case. The final order in all cases shall
23 state the support level in dollar amounts.
24 (b) Failure of either parent to comply with an order to
25 pay support shall be punishable as in other cases of
26 contempt. In addition to other penalties provided by law the
27 Court may, after finding the parent guilty of contempt, order
28 that the parent be:
29 (1) placed on probation with such conditions of
30 probation as the Court deems advisable;
31 (2) sentenced to periodic imprisonment for a period
32 not to exceed 6 months; provided, however, that the Court
33 may permit the parent to be released for periods of time
34 during the day or night to:
-7- LRB9104139SMdv
1 (A) work; or
2 (B) conduct a business or other self-employed
3 occupation.
4 The Court may further order any part or all of the
5 earnings of a parent during a sentence of periodic
6 imprisonment paid to the Clerk of the Circuit Court or to the
7 parent having custody or to the guardian having custody of
8 the minor children of the sentenced parent for the support of
9 said minor children until further order of the Court.
10 If there is a unity of interest and ownership sufficient
11 to render no financial separation between a non-custodial
12 parent and another person or persons or business entity, the
13 court may pierce the ownership veil of the person, persons,
14 or business entity to discover assets of the non-custodial
15 parent held in the name of that person, those persons, or
16 that business entity. The following circumstances are
17 sufficient to authorize a court to order discovery of the
18 assets of a person, persons, or business entity and to compel
19 the application of any discovered assets toward payment on
20 the judgment for support:
21 (1) the non-custodial parent and the person,
22 persons, or business entity maintain records together.
23 (2) the non-custodial parent and the person,
24 persons, or business entity fail to maintain an arms
25 length relationship between themselves with regard to any
26 assets.
27 (3) the non-custodial parent transfers assets to
28 the person, persons, or business entity with the intent
29 to perpetrate a fraud on the custodial parent.
30 With respect to assets which are real property, no order
31 entered under this paragraph shall affect the rights of bona
32 fide purchasers, mortgagees, judgment creditors, or other
33 lien holders who acquire their interests in the property
34 prior to the time a notice of lis pendens pursuant to the
-8- LRB9104139SMdv
1 Code of Civil Procedure or a copy of the order is placed of
2 record in the office of the recorder of deeds for the county
3 in which the real property is located.
4 The court may also order in cases where the parent is 90
5 days or more delinquent in payment of support or has been
6 adjudicated in arrears in an amount equal to 90 days
7 obligation or more, that the parent's Illinois driving
8 privileges be suspended until the court determines that the
9 parent is in compliance with the order of support. The court
10 may also order that the parent be issued a family financial
11 responsibility driving permit that would allow limited
12 driving privileges for employment and medical purposes in
13 accordance with Section 7-702.1 of the Illinois Vehicle Code.
14 The clerk of the circuit court shall certify the order
15 suspending the driving privileges of the parent or granting
16 the issuance of a family financial responsibility driving
17 permit to the Secretary of State on forms prescribed by the
18 Secretary. Upon receipt of the authenticated documents, the
19 Secretary of State shall suspend the parent's driving
20 privileges until further order of the court and shall, if
21 ordered by the court, subject to the provisions of Section
22 7-702.1 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, issue a family
23 financial responsibility driving permit to the parent.
24 In addition to the penalties or punishment that may be
25 imposed under this Section, any person whose conduct
26 constitutes a violation of Section 1 of the Non-Support of
27 Spouse and Children Act may be prosecuted under that Section,
28 and a person convicted under that Section may be sentenced in
29 accordance with that Section. The sentence may include but
30 need not be limited to a requirement that the person perform
31 community service under subsection (b) of that Section or
32 participate in a work alternative program under subsection
33 (c) of that Section. A person may not be required to
34 participate in a work alternative program under subsection
-9- LRB9104139SMdv
1 (c) of that Section if the person is currently participating
2 in a work program pursuant to Section 505.1 of this Act.
3 (b-5) If a person who is under a court order to pay
4 support is 6 months or more delinquent in payment of support
5 or has been adjudicated in arrears in an amount equal to 6
6 months obligation or more, the court shall enter an order
7 including one or more of the following:
8 (1) Requiring the person to perform community
9 service.
10 (2) Requiring the person to participate in an
11 electronic monitoring program, except for periods when
12 the person is at work.
13 (3) Suspending the person's Illinois driving
14 privileges. If driving privileges are suspended, the
15 clerk of the circuit court shall certify the order
16 suspending the driving privileges of the person to the
17 Secretary of State on forms prescribed by the Secretary.
18 Upon receipt of the authenticated documents, the
19 Secretary of State shall suspend the person's driving
20 privileges until further order of the court.
21 (b-7) If a person who is under a court order to pay
22 support is more than 12 months delinquent in payment of
23 support or has been adjudicated in arrears in an amount equal
24 to more than 12 months obligation, the court shall enter an
25 order including one or more of the following:
26 (1) Imposing either or both of the punishments
27 listed in paragraphs (1) and (3) of subsection (b-5) as
28 well as requiring the person to participate in an
29 electronic monitoring program, including while the person
30 is at work and at all other times.
31 (2) Revoking the person's Illinois driving
32 privileges. If driving privileges are revoked, the clerk
33 of the circuit court shall certify the order revoking the
34 driving privileges of the person to the Secretary of
-10- LRB9104139SMdv
1 State on forms prescribed by the Secretary. Upon receipt
2 of the authenticated documents, the Secretary of State
3 shall revoke the person's driving privileges.
4 (c) A one-time charge of 20% is imposable upon the
5 amount of past-due child support owed on July 1, 1988 which
6 has accrued under a support order entered by the court. The
7 charge shall be imposed in accordance with the provisions of
8 Section 10-21 of the Illinois Public Aid Code and shall be
9 enforced by the court upon petition.
10 (d) Any new or existing support order entered by the
11 court under this Section shall be deemed to be a series of
12 judgments against the person obligated to pay support
13 thereunder, each such judgment to be in the amount of each
14 payment or installment of support and each such judgment to
15 be deemed entered as of the date the corresponding payment or
16 installment becomes due under the terms of the support order.
17 Each such judgment shall have the full force, effect and
18 attributes of any other judgment of this State, including the
19 ability to be enforced. A lien arises by operation of law
20 against the real and personal property of the noncustodial
21 parent for each installment of overdue support owed by the
22 noncustodial parent.
23 (e) When child support is to be paid through the clerk
24 of the court in a county of 1,000,000 inhabitants or less,
25 the order shall direct the obligor to pay to the clerk, in
26 addition to the child support payments, all fees imposed by
27 the county board under paragraph (3) of subsection (u) of
28 Section 27.1 of the Clerks of Courts Act. Unless paid in
29 cash or pursuant to an order for withholding, the payment of
30 the fee shall be by a separate instrument from the support
31 payment and shall be made to the order of the Clerk.
32 (f) All orders for support, when entered or modified,
33 shall include a provision requiring the obligor to notify the
34 court and, in cases in which a party is receiving child and
-11- LRB9104139SMdv
1 spouse services under Article X of the Illinois Public Aid
2 Code, the Illinois Department of Public Aid, within 7 days,
3 (i) of the name and address of any new employer of the
4 obligor, (ii) whether the obligor has access to health
5 insurance coverage through the employer or other group
6 coverage and, if so, the policy name and number and the names
7 of persons covered under the policy, and (iii) of any new
8 residential or mailing address or telephone number of the
9 non-custodial parent. In any subsequent action to enforce a
10 support order, upon a sufficient showing that a diligent
11 effort has been made to ascertain the location of the
12 non-custodial parent, service of process or provision of
13 notice necessary in the case may be made at the last known
14 address of the non-custodial parent in any manner expressly
15 provided by the Code of Civil Procedure or this Act, which
16 service shall be sufficient for purposes of due process.
17 (g) An order for support shall include a date on which
18 the current support obligation terminates. The termination
19 date shall be no earlier than the date on which the child
20 covered by the order will attain the age of majority or is
21 otherwise emancipated. The order for support shall state that
22 the termination date does not apply to any arrearage that may
23 remain unpaid on that date. Nothing in this subsection shall
24 be construed to prevent the court from modifying the order.
25 (h) An order entered under this Section shall include a
26 provision requiring the obligor to report to the obligee and
27 to the clerk of court within 10 days each time the obligor
28 obtains new employment, and each time the obligor's
29 employment is terminated for any reason. The report shall be
30 in writing and shall, in the case of new employment, include
31 the name and address of the new employer. Failure to report
32 new employment or the termination of current employment, if
33 coupled with nonpayment of support for a period in excess of
34 60 days, is indirect criminal contempt. For any obligor
-12- LRB9104139SMdv
1 arrested for failure to report new employment bond shall be
2 set in the amount of the child support that should have been
3 paid during the period of unreported employment. An order
4 entered under this Section shall also include a provision
5 requiring the obligor and obligee parents to advise each
6 other of a change in residence within 5 days of the change
7 except when the court finds that the physical, mental, or
8 emotional health of a party or that of a minor child, or
9 both, would be seriously endangered by disclosure of the
10 party's address.

23 including one or more of the following:

27 electronic monitoring program, except for periods when
28 the person is at work.
29 (3) Suspending the person's Illinois driving

1 Secretary of State on forms prescribed by the Secretary.
2 Upon receipt of the authenticated documents, the
3 Secretary of State shall suspend the person's driving
4 privileges until further order of the court.
5 (b) If a person who is under a court order to pay
6 support is more than 12 months delinquent in payment of
7 support or has been adjudicated in arrears in an amount equal
8 to more than 12 months obligation, the court shall enter an
9 order including one or more of the following:
10 (1) Imposing either or both of the punishments
11 listed in paragraphs (1) and (3) of subsection (a) as
12 well as requiring the person to participate in an
13 electronic monitoring program, including while the person
14 is at work and at all other times.
15 (2) Revoking the person's Illinois driving
16 privileges. If driving privileges are revoked, the clerk
17 of the circuit court shall certify the order revoking the
18 driving privileges of the person to the Secretary of
19 State on forms prescribed by the Secretary. Upon receipt
20 of the authenticated documents, the Secretary of State
21 shall revoke the person's driving privileges.
22 Section 25. The Illinois Parentage Act of 1984 is
23 amended by changing Section 15 as follows:
24 (750 ILCS 45/15) (from Ch. 40, par. 2515)
25 Sec. 15. Enforcement of Judgment or Order.
26 (a) If existence of the parent and child relationship is
27 declared, or paternity or duty of support has been
28 established under this Act or under prior law or under the
29 law of any other jurisdiction, the judgment rendered
30 thereunder may be enforced in the same or other proceedings
31 by any party or any person or agency that has furnished or
32 may furnish financial assistance or services to the child.
-14- LRB9104139SMdv
1 The Income Withholding for Support Act and Sections 14 and 16
2 of this Act shall also be applicable with respect to entry,
3 modification and enforcement of any support judgment entered
4 under provisions of the "Paternity Act", approved July 5,
5 1957, as amended, repealed July 1, 1985.
6 (b) Failure to comply with any order of the court shall
7 be punishable as contempt as in other cases of failure to
8 comply under the "Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of
9 Marriage Act", as now or hereafter amended. In addition to
10 other penalties provided by law, the court may, after finding
11 the party guilty of contempt, order that the party be:
12 (1) Placed on probation with such conditions of
13 probation as the court deems advisable;
14 (2) Sentenced to periodic imprisonment for a period
15 not to exceed 6 months. However, the court may permit
16 the party to be released for periods of time during the
17 day or night to work or conduct business or other
18 self-employed occupation. The court may further order
19 any part of all the earnings of a party during a sentence
20 of periodic imprisonment to be paid to the Clerk of the
21 Circuit Court or to the person or parent having custody
22 of the minor child for the support of said child until
23 further order of the court.
24 (2.5) The court may also pierce the ownership veil
25 of a person, persons, or business entity to discover
26 assets of a non-custodial parent held in the name of that
27 person, those persons, or that business entity if there
28 is a unity of interest and ownership sufficient to render
29 no financial separation between the non-custodial parent
30 and that person, those persons, or the business entity.
31 The following circumstances are sufficient for a court to
32 order discovery of the assets of a person, persons, or
33 business entity and to compel the application of any
34 discovered assets toward payment on the judgment for
-15- LRB9104139SMdv
1 support:
2 (A) the non-custodial parent and the person,
3 persons, or business entity maintain records
4 together.
5 (B) the non-custodial parent and the person,
6 persons, or business entity fail to maintain an arms
7 length relationship between themselves with regard
8 to any assets.
9 (C) the non-custodial parent transfers assets
10 to the person, persons, or business entity with the
11 intent to perpetrate a fraud on the custodial
12 parent.
13 With respect to assets which are real property, no
14 order entered under this subdivision (2.5) shall affect
15 the rights of bona fide purchasers, mortgagees, judgment
16 creditors, or other lien holders who acquire their
17 interests in the property prior to the time a notice of
18 lis pendens pursuant to the Code of Civil Procedure or a
19 copy of the order is placed of record in the office of
20 the recorder of deeds for the county in which the real
21 property is located.
22 (3) The court may also order that in cases where
23 the party is 90 days or more delinquent in payment of
24 support or has been adjudicated in arrears in an amount
25 equal to 90 days obligation or more, that the party's
26 Illinois driving privileges be suspended until the court
27 determines that the party is in compliance with the
28 judgement or duty of support. The court may also order
29 that the parent be issued a family financial
30 responsibility driving permit that would allow limited
31 driving privileges for employment and medical purposes in
32 accordance with Section 7-702.1 of the Illinois Vehicle
33 Code. The clerk of the circuit court shall certify the
34 order suspending the driving privileges of the parent or
-16- LRB9104139SMdv
1 granting the issuance of a family financial
2 responsibility driving permit to the Secretary of State
3 on forms prescribed by the Secretary. Upon receipt of the
