When a couple divorces or separates in Illinois, financial transparency is absolutely necessary, especially when children are involved. Unfortunately, some spouses try to hide income in order to reduce their obligations for child support or spousal maintenance. If you suspect this is happening in your case, it is important to understand your rights and how Illinois courts handle these situations.
