HB 2357

Abstract

Amends the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act. Provides that if the amount of child support was reduced or suspended because the obligor was incarcerated and if the full amount of child support that would have been owed but for the reduction or suspension has not been paid to the obligee by the time the child attains majority, the court, upon application, may order the obligor to make child support payments after the child attains majority. Provides that the period for which such payments are due shall begin on the date the child attains majority or the date the obligor is released from incarceration, whichever is later, and the length of the period shall be equal to the length of the period of the obligor's incarceration. Provides that the amount of support shall be the amount that was in effect immediately before the suspension of support or the amount by which the support was reduced because of the obligor's incarceration, whichever is less.
