824824 1 (1) Computation of basic child support obligation. The
825825 2 court shall compute the basic child support obligation by

842842 19 evidence which shows relevant factors including, but not
843843 20 limited to, one or more of the following:

938938 7 (including filing status, allocation of dependency
939939 8 exemptions, and whether a party is to claim the use of
940940 9 the standard deduction or itemized deductions for
941941 10 federal income tax purposes) shall be as the parties
942942 11 agree or as the court determines. To determine a
943943 12 party's reported income, the court may order the party

950950 19 the individualized tax amount that is different
951951 20 from the method set forth under subparagraph (D),

968968 1 individualized tax amount method under this item
969969 2 (II), the individualized tax amount shall be

971971 4 information contained in one or both parties'
972972 5 Supreme Court approved financial affidavit and
973973 6 relevant supporting documents under applicable
974974 7 court rules. No party, however, is eligible to opt
975975 8 in unless the party, under applicable court rules,
976976 9 has served the other party with the required
977977 10 Supreme Court approved financial affidavit and has
978978 11 substantially produced supporting documents
979979 12 required by the applicable court rules.
980980 13 (III) Evidentiary hearing. If the court
981981 14 determines child support in an evidentiary
982982 15 hearing, whether for purposes of a temporary order
983983 16 or at the conclusion of a proceeding, item (II)
984984 17 does not apply. In each such case (unless item (I)
985985 18 governs), the individualized tax amount shall be
986986 19 as determined by the court on the basis of the
987987 20 record established.
988988 21 (F) Adjustments to income.
989989 22 (I) Multifamily adjustment. If the defendant
990990 23 is also legally responsible for support of the
991991 24 defendant's own child and not subject to the
992992 25 present proceeding, there shall be an adjustment
993993 26 to net income as follows:

10041004 1 (i) Multifamily adjustment with court
10051005 2 order. The court shall deduct from the
10061006 3 defendant's net income the amount of child
10071007 4 support actually paid by the defendant
10081008 5 pursuant to a support order unless the court
10091009 6 makes a finding that it would cause economic
10101010 7 hardship to the child.
10111011 8 (ii) Multifamily adjustment without court
10121012 9 order. Upon the request or application of a
10131013 10 defendant actually supporting a presumed,
10141014 11 acknowledged, or adjudicated child living in
10151015 12 or outside of that defendant's household,
10161016 13 there shall be an adjustment to child support.
10171017 14 The court shall deduct from the defendant's
10181018 15 net income the amount of financial support
10191019 16 actually paid by the defendant for the child
10201020 17 or 75% of the support the defendant should pay
10211021 18 under the child support guidelines (before
10221022 19 this adjustment), whichever is less, unless
10231023 20 the court makes a finding that it would cause
10241024 21 economic hardship to the child. The adjustment
10251025 22 shall be calculated using the defendant's
10261026 23 income alone.
10271027 24 (3.1) Business income. For purposes of calculating
10281028 25 child support, "net business income from the operation of

10451045 6 following:
10461046 7 (A) The accelerated component of depreciation and
10471047 8 any business expenses determined either judicially or
10481048 9 administratively to be inappropriate or excessive
10491049 10 shall be excluded from the total of ordinary and
10501050 11 necessary business expenses to be deducted in the
10511051 12 determination of net business income from gross
10521052 13 business income.
10531053 14 (B) Any item of reimbursement or in-kind payment
10541054 15 received by a defendant from a business, including,
10551055 16 but not limited to, a company car, reimbursed meals,

10571057 18 as income if not otherwise included in the defendant's
10581058 19 gross income, if the item is significant in amount and
10591059 20 reduces personal expenses.
10601060 21 (3.2) Unemployment or underemployment. If the
10611061 22 defendant is voluntarily unemployed or underemployed,
10621062 23 child support shall be calculated based on a determination
10631063 24 of potential income. A determination of potential income
10641064 25 shall be made by determining employment potential and

10771077 2 opportunities, the ownership by a defendant of a
10781078 3 substantial non-income producing asset, and earnings
10791079 4 levels in the community. If there is insufficient work
10801080 5 history to determine employment potential and probable
10811081 6 earnings level, there shall be a rebuttable presumption
10821082 7 that the defendant's potential income is 75% of the most
10831083 8 recent United States Department of Health and Human
10841084 9 Services Federal Poverty Guidelines for a family of one
10851085 10 person.
10861086 11 (3.3) Rebuttable presumption in favor of guidelines.
10871087 12 There is a rebuttable presumption in any judicial or
10881088 13 administrative proceeding for child support that the
10891089 14 amount of the child support obligation that would result
10901090 15 from the application of the child support guidelines is
10911091 16 the correct amount of child support.
10921092 17 (3.3a) Minimum child support obligation. There is a
10931093 18 rebuttable presumption that a minimum child support
10941094 19 obligation of $40 per month, per child, will be entered
10951095 20 for a defendant who has actual or imputed gross income at
10961096 21 or less than 75% of the most recent United States
10971097 22 Department of Health and Human Services Federal Poverty
10981098 23 Guidelines for a family of one person, with a maximum
10991099 24 total child support obligation for the defendant of $120
11001100 25 per month to be divided equally among all of the
11011101 26 defendant's children.

11121112 1 (3.3b) Zero dollar child support order. For a
11131113 2 defendant with no gross income who receives only
11141114 3 means-tested assistance, or who cannot work due to a
11151115 4 medically proven disability, incarceration, or
11161116 5 institutionalization, there is a rebuttable presumption
11171117 6 that the $40 per month minimum support order is
11181118 7 inapplicable and a zero dollar order shall be entered.
11191119 8 (3.4) Deviation factors. In any action to establish or
11201120 9 modify child support, whether pursuant to a temporary or
11211121 10 final administrative or court order, the child support
11221122 11 guidelines shall be used as a rebuttable presumption for
11231123 12 the establishment or modification of the amount of child
11241124 13 support. The court may deviate from the child support
11251125 14 guidelines if the application would be inequitable,
11261126 15 unjust, or inappropriate. Any deviation from the
11271127 16 guidelines shall be accompanied by written findings by the
11281128 17 court specifying the reasons for the deviation and the
11291129 18 presumed amount under the child support guidelines without
11301130 19 a deviation. These reasons may include:
11311131 20 (A) extraordinary medical expenditures necessary
11321132 21 to preserve the life or health of a surviving parent or
11331133 22 a child subject to the child support order;
11341134 23 (B) additional expenses incurred for a child
11351135 24 subject to the child support order who has special
11361136 25 medical, physical, or developmental needs; and

11491149 2 child support guidelines would be inappropriate, after
11501150 3 considering the best interests of the child.
11511151 4 (3.5) Income in excess of the schedule of basic child
11521152 5 support obligation. A court may use its discretion to
11531153 6 determine child support if the combined adjusted net
11541154 7 income exceeds the highest level of the schedule of basic
11551155 8 child support obligation, except that the basic child
11561156 9 support obligation shall not be less than the highest
11571157 10 level of combined net income set forth in the schedule of
11581158 11 basic child support obligation.
11591159 12 (3.6) Extracurricular activities and school expenses.
11601160 13 The court, in its discretion, in addition to the basic
11611161 14 child support obligation, may order the defendant to
11621162 15 contribute to the reasonable school and extracurricular
11631163 16 activity expenses incurred which are intended to enhance
11641164 17 the educational, athletic, social, or cultural development
11651165 18 of the child.
11661166 19 (3.7) Child care expenses. The court, in its
11671167 20 discretion, in addition to the basic child support
11681168 21 obligation, may order the defendant to contribute to the
11691169 22 reasonable child care expenses of the child. The child
11701170 23 care expenses shall be made payable directly to a party or
11711171 24 directly to the child care provider at the time of child
11721172 25 care services.

11851185 2 custodian to be employed, to attend educational or
11861186 3 vocational training programs to improve employment
11871187 4 opportunities, or to search for employment. "Child
11881188 5 care expenses" includes deposits for securing
11891189 6 placement in a child care program and the cost of
11901190 7 before and after school care and camps when school is
11911191 8 not in session. A child's special needs shall be a
11921192 9 consideration in determining reasonable child care
11931193 10 expenses.
11941194 11 (B) Child care expenses shall be prorated in
11951195 12 proportion to each party's percentage share of
11961196 13 combined net income, and may be added to the basic
11971197 14 child support obligation if not paid directly by each
11981198 15 party to the provider of child care services. The
11991199 16 obligor's and obligee's portion of actual child care
12001200 17 expenses shall appear in the support order. If
12011201 18 allowed, the value of the federal income tax credit
12021202 19 for child care shall be subtracted from the actual
12031203 20 cost to determine the net child care costs.
12041204 21 (C) The amount of child care expenses shall be
12051205 22 adequate to obtain reasonable and necessary child
12061206 23 care. The actual child care expenses shall be used to
12071207 24 calculate the child care expenses, if available. When
12081208 25 actual child care expenses vary, the actual child care
12091209 26 expenses may be averaged over the most recent 12-month

12201220 1 period. When a party is temporarily unemployed or
12211221 2 temporarily not attending educational or vocational
12221222 3 training programs, future child care expenses shall be
12231223 4 based upon prospective expenses to be incurred upon
12241224 5 return to employment or educational or vocational
12251225 6 training programs.
12261226 7 (D) An order for child care expenses may be
12271227 8 modified upon a showing of a substantial change in
12281228 9 circumstances. The party incurring child care expenses
12291229 10 shall notify the other party within 14 days of any
12301230 11 change in the amount of child care expenses that would
12311231 12 affect the annualized child care amount as determined
12321232 13 in the support order.
12331233 14 (4) Health care.
12341234 15 (A) A portion of the basic child support
12351235 16 obligation is intended to cover basic ordinary
12361236 17 out-of-pocket medical expenses. The court, in its
12371237 18 discretion, in addition to the basic child support
12381238 19 obligation, shall also provide for the child's current
12391239 20 and future medical needs by the defendant to initiate
12401240 21 health insurance coverage for the child through
12411241 22 currently effective health insurance policies held by
12421242 23 the parent, purchase one or more or all health,
12431243 24 dental, or vision insurance policies for the child, or
12441244 25 provide for the child's current and future medical
12451245 26 needs through some other manner.

12551255 HB3404 - 35 - LRB103 29585 MXP 55980 b
12561256 1 (B) The court, in its discretion, may order the
12571257 2 defendant to contribute to the reasonable health care
12581258 3 needs of the child not covered by insurance,
12591259 4 including, but not limited to, unreimbursed medical,
12601260 5 dental, orthodontic, or vision expenses and any
12611261 6 prescription medication for the child not covered
12621262 7 under the child's health insurance.
12631263 8 (C) If neither the child nor children have access
12641264 9 to appropriate private health insurance coverage, the
12651265 10 court may order the defendant to:
12661266 11 (I) provide health insurance coverage at any
12671267 12 time it becomes available at a reasonable cost; or
12681268 13 (II) apply for public health insurance
12691269 14 coverage for the child and pay a reasonable amount
12701270 15 of the cost of health insurance for the child.
12711271 16 The order may also provide that any time private
12721272 17 health insurance coverage is available at a reasonable
12731273 18 cost it will be provided instead of cash medical
12741274 19 support. As used in this Section, "cash medical
12751275 20 support" means an amount ordered to be paid toward the
12761276 21 cost of health insurance provided by a public entity
12771277 22 or by another person through employment or otherwise
12781278 23 or for other medical costs not covered by insurance.
12791279 24 (D) The amount to be added to the basic child
12801280 25 support obligation shall be the actual amount of the
12811281 26 total health insurance premium that is attributable to
12821282

12921292 1 the child who is the subject of the order. If this
12931293 2 amount is not available or cannot be verified, the
12941294 3 total cost of the health insurance premium shall be
12951295 4 divided by the total number of persons covered by the
12961296 5 policy. The cost per person derived from this
12971297 6 calculation shall be multiplied by the number of
12981298 7 children who are the subject of the order and who are
12991299 8 covered under the health insurance policy. This amount
13001300 9 shall be added to the basic child support obligation
13011301 10 and shall be allocated between the parties in
13021302 11 proportion to the parties' respective net incomes.
13031303 12 (E) After the health insurance premium for the
13041304 13 child is added to the basic child support obligation
13051305 14 and allocated between the parties in proportion to the
13061306 15 parties' respective incomes for child support
13071307 16 purposes, if the defendant is paying the premium, the
13081308 17 amount calculated for the obligee's share of the
13091309 18 health insurance premium for the child shall be
13101310 19 deducted from the defendant's share of the total child
13111311 20 support obligation. If the obligee is paying for
13121312 21 private health insurance for the child, the child
13131313 22 support obligation shall be increased by the
13141314 23 defendant's share of the premium payment. The
13151315 24 defendant's and obligee's portion of health insurance
13161316 25 costs shall appear in the support order.

13281328 1 adjustment, the defendant requesting the adjustment
13291329 2 must submit proof that the child has been enrolled in a
13301330 3 health insurance plan and must submit proof of the
13311331 4 cost of the premium. The court shall require the
13321332 5 defendant receiving the adjustment to annually submit
13331333 6 proof of continued coverage of the child to the
13341334 7 obligee, or as designated by the court.
13351335 8 (G) A reasonable cost for providing health
13361336 9 insurance coverage for the child may not exceed 5% of
13371337 10 the defendant's gross income. A defendant with a net
13381338 11 income below 133% of the most recent United States
13391339 12 Department of Health and Human Services Federal
13401340 13 Poverty Guidelines or whose child is covered by
13411341 14 Medicaid based on the defendant's income may not be
13421342 15 ordered to contribute toward or provide private
13431343 16 coverage, unless private coverage is obtainable
13441344 17 without any financial contribution by the defendant.
13451345 18 (H) If dental or vision insurance is included as
13461346 19 part of the employer's medical plan, the coverage
13471347 20 shall be maintained for the child. If not included in
13481348 21 the employer's medical plan, adding the dental or
13491349 22 vision insurance for the child is at the discretion of
13501350 23 the court.
13511351 24 (5) If the net income cannot be determined because of
13521352 25 default or any other reason, the court shall order support
13531353 26 in an amount considered reasonable in the particular case.

13631363 HB3404 - 38 - LRB103 29585 MXP 55980 b
13641364 1 The final order in all cases shall state the support level
13651365 2 in dollar amounts. However, if the court finds that the
13661366 3 child support amount cannot be expressed exclusively as a
13671367 4 dollar amount because all or a portion of the defendant's
13681368 5 net income is uncertain as to source, time of payment, or
13691369 6 amount, the court may order a percentage amount of support
13701370 7 in addition to a specific dollar amount and enter such
13711371 8 other orders as may be necessary to determine and enforce,
13721372 9 on a timely basis, the applicable support ordered.
13731373 10 (6) If (i) the defendant was properly served with a
13741374 11 request for discovery of financial information relating to
13751375 12 the defendant's ability to provide child support, (ii) the
13761376 13 defendant failed to comply with the request, despite
13771377 14 having been ordered to do so by the court, and (iii) the
13781378 15 defendant is not present at the hearing to determine
13791379 16 support despite having received proper notice, then any
13801380 17 relevant financial information concerning the defendant's
13811381 18 ability to provide child support that was obtained
13821382 19 pursuant to subpoena and proper notice shall be admitted
13831383 20 into evidence without the need to establish any further
13841384 21 foundation for its admission.
13851385 22 (a-5) In an action to enforce an order for child support
13861386 23 based on the defendant's failure to make support payments as
13871387 24 required by the order, notice of proceedings to hold the
13881388 25 defendant in contempt for that failure may be served on the
13891389 26 defendant by personal service or by regular mail addressed to

14011401 2 address of the defendant may be determined from records of the
14021402 3 clerk of the court, from the Federal Case Registry of Child
14031403 4 Support Orders, or by any other reasonable means.
14041404 5 (b) Failure to comply with an order to pay support shall be
14051405 6 punishable as in other cases of contempt. In addition to other
14061406 7 penalties provided by law the court may, after finding the
14071407 8 defendant guilty of contempt, order that the defendant be:
14081408 9 (1) placed on probation with such conditions of
14091409 10 probation as the court deems advisable;
14101410 11 (2) sentenced to periodic imprisonment for a period
14111411 12 not to exceed 6 months; provided, however, that the court
14121412 13 may permit the defendant to be released for periods of
14131413 14 time during the day or night to:
14141414 15 (A) work; or
14151415 16 (B) conduct a business or other self-employed
14161416 17 occupation.
14171417 18 If a defendant who is found guilty of contempt for failure
14181418 19 to comply with an order to pay support is a person who conducts
14191419 20 a business or who is self-employed, the court in addition to
14201420 21 other penalties provided by law may order that the defendant
14211421 22 do one or more of the following: (i) provide to the court

14391439 4 If there is a unity of interest and ownership sufficient
14401440 5 to render no financial separation between a defendant and
14411441 6 another person or persons or business entity, the court may
14421442 7 pierce the ownership veil of the person, persons, or business
14431443 8 entity to discover assets of the defendant held in the name of
14441444 9 that person, those persons, or that business entity. The
14451445 10 following circumstances are sufficient to authorize a court to
14461446 11 order discovery of the assets of a person, persons, or
14471447 12 business entity and to compel the application of any
14481448 13 discovered assets toward payment on the judgment for support:
14491449 14 (1) the defendant and the person, persons, or business
14501450 15 entity maintain records together.
14511451 16 (2) the defendant and the person, persons, or business
14521452 17 entity fail to maintain an arm's length relationship
14531453 18 between themselves with regard to any assets.
14541454 19 (3) the defendant transfers assets to the person,
14551455 20 persons, or business entity with the intent to perpetrate
14561456 21 a fraud on the obligee.
14571457 22 With respect to assets which are real property, no order
14581458 23 entered under this paragraph shall affect the rights of bona

14731473 2 office of the recorder of deeds for the county in which the
14741474 3 real property is located.
14751475 4 The court may also order in cases where the defendant is 90
14761476 5 days or more delinquent in payment of support or has been
14771477 6 adjudicated in arrears in an amount equal to 90 days
14781478 7 obligation or more, that the defendant's Illinois driving
14791479 8 privileges be suspended until the court determines that the
14801480 9 defendant is in compliance with the order of support. The
14811481 10 court may also order that the defendant be issued a family
14821482 11 financial responsibility driving permit that would allow
14831483 12 limited driving privileges for employment and medical purposes
14841484 13 in accordance with Section 7-702.1 of the Illinois Vehicle
14851485 14 Code. The clerk of the circuit court shall certify the order
14861486 15 suspending the driving privileges of the defendant or granting
14871487 16 the issuance of a family financial responsibility driving
14881488 17 permit to the Secretary of State on forms prescribed by the
14891489 18 Secretary of State. Upon receipt of the authenticated
14901490 19 documents, the Secretary of State shall suspend the
14911491 20 defendant's driving privileges until further order of the
14921492 21 court and shall, if ordered by the court, subject to the
14931493 22 provisions of Section 7-702.1 of the Illinois Vehicle Code,
14941494 23 issue a family financial responsibility driving permit to the
14951495 24 defendant.

15091509 2 Punishment Act may be prosecuted under the Non-Support
15101510 3 Punishment Act, and a person convicted under the Non-Support
15111511 4 Punishment Act may be sentenced in accordance with the
15121512 5 Non-Support Punishment Act. The sentence may include, but need
15131513 6 not be limited to, a requirement that the person perform
15141514 7 community service under Section 50 of the Non-Support
15151515 8 Punishment or participate in a work alternative program under
15161516 9 Section 50 of the Non-Support Punishment. A person may not be
15171517 10 required to participate in a work alternative program under
15181518 11 Section 50 of the Non-Support Punishment Act if the person is
15191519 12 currently participating in a work program pursuant to Section
15201520 13 505.1 of this Act.
15211521 14 A support obligation, or any portion of a support
15221522 15 obligation, which becomes due and remains unpaid as of the end
15231523 16 of each month, excluding the child support that was due for
15241524 17 that month to the extent that it was not paid in that month,
15251525 18 shall accrue simple interest as set forth in Section 12-109 of
15261526 19 the Code of Civil Procedure. An order for support shall
15271527 20 contain a statement that a support obligation required under
15281528 21 the order, or any portion of a support obligation required
15291529 22 under the order, that becomes due and remains unpaid as of the
15301530 23 end of each month, excluding the child support that was due for
15311531 24 that month to the extent that it was not paid in that month,
15321532 25 shall accrue simple interest as set forth in Section 12-109 of

15451545 2 order or the accrual of interest as provided in this Section.
15461546 3 (c) Any new or existing support order entered by the court
15471547 4 under this Section shall be deemed to be a series of judgments
15481548 5 against the person obligated to pay support thereunder, each
15491549 6 such judgment to be in the amount of each payment or
15501550 7 installment of support and each such judgment to be deemed
15511551 8 entered as of the date the corresponding payment or
15521552 9 installment becomes due under the terms of the support order.
15531553 10 Each such judgment shall have the full force, effect, and
15541554 11 attributes of any other judgment of this State, including the
15551555 12 ability to be enforced. Notwithstanding any other State or
15561556 13 local law to the contrary, a lien arises by operation of law
15571557 14 against the real and personal property of the defendant for
15581558 15 each installment of overdue support owed by the defendant.
15591559 16 (d) When child support is to be paid through the clerk of
15601560 17 the court in a county of 500,000 inhabitants or less, the order
15611561 18 shall direct the defendant to pay to the clerk, in addition to
15621562 19 the child support payments, all fees imposed by the county
15631563 20 board under paragraph (4) of subsection (bb) of Section 27.1a
15641564 21 of the Clerks of Courts Act. When child support is to be paid
15651565 22 through the clerk of the court in a county of more than 500,000
15661566 23 but less than 3,000,000 inhabitants, the order shall direct
15671567 24 the defendant to pay to the clerk, in addition to the child
15681568 25 support payments, all fees imposed by the county board under
15691569 26 paragraph (4) of subsection (bb) of Section 27.2 of the Clerks

15801580 1 of Courts Act. Unless paid pursuant to an Income Withholding
15811581 2 Order or Notice for Support, the payment of the fee shall be by
15821582 3 payment acceptable to the clerk and shall be made to the order
15831583 4 of the clerk.
15841584 5 (e) All orders for support, when entered or modified,
15851585 6 shall include a provision requiring the defendant to notify
15861586 7 the court and, in cases in which a party is receiving child and
15871587 8 spouse services under Article X of the Illinois Public Aid
15881588 9 Code, the Department of Healthcare and Family Services, within
15891589 10 7 days, (i) of the name and address of any new employer of the
15901590 11 defendant, (ii) whether the defendant has access to health
15911591 12 insurance coverage through the employer or other group
15921592 13 coverage and, if so, the policy name and number and the names
15931593 14 of persons covered under the policy, except only the initials
15941594 15 of any covered minors shall be included, and (iii) of any new
15951595 16 residential or mailing address or telephone number of the
15961596 17 defendant. In any subsequent action to enforce a support
15971597 18 order, upon a sufficient showing that a diligent effort has
15981598 19 been made to ascertain the location of the defendant, service
15991599 20 of process or provision of notice necessary in the case may be
16001600 21 made at the last known address of the defendant in any manner
16011601 22 expressly provided by the Code of Civil Procedure or this Act,
16021602 23 which service shall be sufficient for purposes of due process.
16031603 24 (f) An order for support shall include a date on which the
16041604 25 current support obligation terminates. The termination date
16051605 26 shall be no earlier than the date on which the child covered by

16151615 HB3404 - 45 - LRB103 29585 MXP 55980 b
16161616 1 the order will attain the age of 18. However, if the child will
16171617 2 not graduate from high school until after attaining the age of
16181618 3 18, then the termination date shall be no earlier than the
16191619 4 earlier of the date on which the child's high school
16201620 5 graduation will occur or the date on which the child will
16211621 6 attain the age of 19. The order for support shall state that
16221622 7 the termination date does not apply to any arrearage that may
16231623 8 remain unpaid on that date. Nothing in this subsection shall
16241624 9 be construed to prevent the court from modifying the order or
16251625 10 terminating the order if the child is otherwise emancipated.
16261626 11 (g) If there is an unpaid arrearage or delinquency (as
16271627 12 those terms are defined in the Income Withholding for Support
16281628 13 Act) equal to at least one month's support obligation on the
16291629 14 termination date stated in the order for support or, if there
16301630 15 is no termination date stated in the order, on the date the
16311631 16 child attains the age of majority or is otherwise emancipated,
16321632 17 the periodic amount required to be paid for current support of
16331633 18 that child immediately prior to that date shall automatically
16341634 19 continue to be an obligation, not as current support but as
16351635 20 periodic payment toward satisfaction of the unpaid arrearage
16361636 21 or delinquency. The periodic payment shall be in addition to
16371637 22 any periodic payment previously required for satisfaction of
16381638 23 the arrearage or delinquency. The total periodic amount to be
16391639 24 paid toward satisfaction of the arrearage or delinquency may
16401640 25 be enforced and collected by any method provided by law for
16411641 26 enforcement and collection of child support, including, but

16521652 1 not limited to, income withholding under the Income
16531653 2 Withholding for Support Act. Each order for support must
16541654 3 contain a statement notifying the parties of the requirements
16551655 4 of this subsection. Failure to include the statement in the
16561656 5 order for support does not affect the validity of the order or
16571657 6 the operation of the provisions of this subsection with regard
16581658 7 to the order. This subsection shall not be construed to
16591659 8 prevent or affect the establishment or modification of an
16601660 9 order for support of a minor child or the establishment or
16611661 10 modification of an order for support of a nonminor child or
16621662 11 educational expenses under Section 513.
16631663 12 (h) An order entered under this Section shall include a
16641664 13 provision requiring a defendant to report to the surviving
16651665 14 parent or nonparent custodian and to the clerk of court within
16661666 15 10 days each time he or she obtains new employment, and each
16671667 16 time his or her employment is terminated for any reason. The
16681668 17 report shall be in writing and shall, in the case of new
16691669 18 employment, include the name and address of the new employer.
16701670 19 Failure to report new employment or the termination of current
16711671 20 employment, if coupled with nonpayment of support for a period
16721672 21 in excess of 60 days, is indirect criminal contempt. For an
16731673 22 arrest for failure to report new employment, bond shall be set
16741674 23 in the amount of the child support that should have been paid
16751675 24 during the period of unreported employment. An order entered
16761676 25 under this Section shall also include a provision requiring
16771677 26 either the defendant and the obligee to advise the other of a

16891689 2 court finds that the physical, mental, or emotional health of
16901690 3 a party or that of a child, or both, would be seriously
16911691 4 endangered by disclosure of the party's address.
16921692 5 (i) The court does not lose the powers of contempt,
16931693 6 driver's license suspension, or other child support
16941694 7 enforcement mechanisms, including, but not limited to,
16951695 8 criminal prosecution as set forth in this Act, upon the

17001700 13 represented by multiple versions), the use of that text does
17011701 14 not accelerate or delay the taking effect of (i) the changes

17031703 16 Public Act.
