Retroactive Child Support Motion

Summary

In Illinois, if a respondent misses court-ordered deadlines for retroactive child support, it can affect the case outcome. The court initially set a 21-day deadline from September 23, 2024, which was missed. Despite an extension, the respondent failed to comply again. False statements, such as claiming the respondent was out of state, can be challenged with evidence like text messages. Filing a Motion to Strike the respondents motion to dismiss, based on these inaccuracies and missed deadlines, is advisable. Ensure all evidence, such as financial affidavits and communication records, is accurately presented to the court.
