Retroactive Child Support Considerations
Summary
In Illinois, child support is generally not retroactive before the filing date unless intentional avoidance is proven. Courts can impute income if a parent quits a job to avoid support. Retroactive support after a child turns 18 is complex and depends on case specifics. Courts cannot force SSI recipients to work but can consider potential earnings. Non-payment can lead to increasing arrears. Legal advice is recommended for navigating these issues.Full Conversation

So if they imputed potentially earn on child support order and ex still wont go back to work... does that means the child support will continue increasing debt owed?
Case Rating: *
If your ex does not work despite the court imputing potential income, the debt owed for child support can still accumulate based on the imputed income. Non-payment of child support can lead to increasing arrears and potential legal consequences.
