Thank you very much for your suggestions.  My husband and I do have a child together and another one on the way.  I am not trying to hurt his ex financially, we have always paid her, even when times were rough, I just do not understand how everything was done behind his back, without him even being able to contest the amount or anything.  

He doesn't even know where to go to file for a modification because it looks as if the case was handled in McHenry County and through the State disbursement Unit. ???

Hi, I was referred here by a friend.  My husband's case is in IL.  He was never married to his twins' mother.  He has always paid CS by check bi-weekly.  They never had a formal court agreement.

1 month ago, he recieved a notice that he is to pay 147 weekly in CS and cash medical support.  This was to come out of each paycheck.  We did find out that she went through Public Aid.  My questions are as follows:

1.) How were they able to calculate a payment(which is too high based on the legal 28%) without his knowledge?

2.) He did go to a regional office in Rockford to file for a hearing for arrearages that he has paid.  What is his next step?

3.) How does he get this order modified to reflect his actual earnings if we do not even know which system to go through?

4.)  If this was done through the Dept. of Public Aid, why does he have to pay annual support service fees of $36 to the circuit clerk of McHenry County?

5.) Is there a way for us to claim this deduction on our taxes because this is a huge financial burden?
