Can Child Support be withheld from earnings in Illinois?
Virtually every state, including Illinois, has a provision for withholding child support directly from the earnings of the parent who is ordered to pay child support – much the way income tax is withheld. This makes both receiving and paying child support more certain for both parents. Child support is typically withheld by the employer and sent to the State Disbursement Agency, authorized to receive and disburse payments. Once the support has been received and verified, the payment is forwarded to the parent who is to receive support for the benefit of the children.
