- The New Illinois Pet Custody Law does provide for the sole or joint ownership of and responsibility for a companion animal of the parties, but only if that companion animal is a “marital asset” of the parties’ marriage. What does that mean? If the Pet was acquired during the marriage and not a gift to one party or the other, the Pet is presumed to be a marital asset.On the other hand, if the Pet was owned by one spouse before they were married, or was gifted or inherited by one spouse then the New Illinois Pet Custody Law does not apply.
- Child support payments cannot be changed without going to court. The amount of child support owed only changes when the judge enters a new court order that changes it.Either parent can ask the court to change or modify the amount of child support payments, even down to $0, if there has been a substantial change in circumstances, since the last child support order.A substantial change in circumstances means a big change. For example, a change in one of the parents' job situation or ability to make money. #modificationchildsupport, #child support,
