What is the name of your state? Illinois
My wife filed for divorce in January 2007. We lived together until August 2007 when we sold our house. I have three teenage daughters, one of whom is now attending college and is 19 years old.
My child support obligation was to be for two children. My attorney recommended that beginning in October I pay approximately $1200 per month in voluntary child support which I have done.
During a pre-trial hearing, the judge recommended $1400 per month, and that will be the number we use in our separation agreement. My question is, is my wife entitled to "back child support", while we are separated, even though we do not have a separation agreement?
We did the best we could to estimate the child support, and frankly, for two children, it's 28% - 28% of WHAT is what seems to vary. That said, I just want to know if she is entitled to back support of approximately $200 per month during the time we have been separated.
Advice?
Thanks,
