Illinois Child Support Enforcement
Illinois child support is issued to help protect the child's future after a divorce is final. States sometimes have trouble collecting unpaid child support from parents so child support enforcement agencies have been established to help collect child support from deadbeat parents.
Child support enforcement methods in Illinois include:
- Withholding incomes
- Probation
- Contempt of court
- Imprisonment for up to six months
- Being listed on the child support enforcement Web site
- Other penalties
