Taking Your Case Back to Court

It is relatively common that the decisions made by a family law judge five or more years ago will need to be revised at a later date. Has your income gone up or down substantially? Is your child now out of daycare? Does your child require special care or tutoring?

If there has been a substantial change in your circumstances, you may be eligible for a reduction (or an increase) in child support. Contact our Cook County law office for a free consultation to learn more about how we can help you with child support concerns.
