What Kind of Support Is Available During a Divorce?
In Illinois, you can ask for temporary assistance in the form of alimony or child support. Alimony is paid for by the higher-earning spouse to provide for the needs of the lower-earning spouse when there is a clear financial need. Child support is intended to help pay for a child’s necessities, typically awarded to the parent with a greater share of parenting time.
