HB3527 Summary

• Amends the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act to address cases where a court determines an obligor is concealing income or assets to lower child support payments.

• Requires courts to enter a "parenthood cost sharing order" in such cases, obligating the obligor to pay 50% of the yearly statewide average of basic necessity, healthcare, and child care or after school program costs for the child, prorated by countywide economic data.

• Designates the parent receiving support as the bill payer responsible for expenses, while the other parent pays the minimum monthly amount.

• Imposes a compounded 1% monthly interest rate on any late payments under the parenthood cost sharing order.

• Effective January 1, 2020.
