Calc. of support in Illinois for more than 1 child

[MPparalegal]

I am a paralegal volunteer. Does anyone know what the Illinois equivalent of Texas's § 154.128. COMPUTING SUPPORT FOR CHILDREN IN MORE THAN ONE
HOUSEHOLD. In Illinois the amount of payment for CS for two kids is 28% of obligor's income. The question posed does the obligor pay 20% to the first (20% being the required amount for one child) and 8% to the other, 20% to each household, or 14% to each?

In Illinois the amount of payment for CS for two kids is 28% of obligor's income. The question posed does the obligor pay 20% to the first (20% being the required amount for one child) and 8% to the other, 20% to each household, or 14% to each?

None of the above.

Per 750 ILCS 5/505(a)(3)(g), prior orders of support are to be deducted from the obligor's net income when establishing a new order.

For example, suppose the net income used to establish the first order is/was $2500/month. Using the 20% guideline for one child, child support owed to obligee #1 = 2500 * .20 = $500/month. Assuming the obligor is actually paying child support pursuant to that first order and the obligor's income and expenses have not changed, child support owed to obligee #2 = (2500 - 500) * .20 = $400/month.
