I want to know how to properly cite it in my motion for retroactive.
To cite the Illinois statute for retroactive child support in your motion, you can use the following format:
**"Pursuant to * ILCS */*, this motion seeks retroactive child support from the date the petition for support was filed."**
Would you like any additional information on drafting your motion?
So for example, if I. called HFS and file. for child support against the father on July * * but For some reason, HFS took 9 months. to send the documents to me. which I received on April *. * Should I ask for retroactive? dating from July 6th? * or April *? *. because when I call HFS They see in their notes that I. actually called and filed on July * * However, I do not have documents proving that because HFS will not send me those documents. But I do have the court file. copy. showing my signature dated April *. * which then they filed it with the court on May * * So my question is, which date should I be requested. The retroactive child support. from.
In Illinois, retroactive child support can be ordered from the date the petition was filed. Given your situation, you should request retroactive child support from July *, *, as HFS has noted your initial filing date.
Would you like assistance on how to phrase this in your motion?
Yes.
Certainly! Here's a suggested phrasing for your motion:
**"Pursuant to * ILCS */*, this motion seeks retroactive child support from July *, *, the date the initial petition for support was filed with HFS, as noted in their records."**
Would you need any further assistance with your motion or any other legal information?
But I'm not sure this judge that is handling my case. would go all the way back to July * * as again I do not have any documents HFS does. and I'm representing myself in this case, so there's no way for me to get those documents from HFS as they will not be sending it to me They told me they cannot provide me with those documents. That's why I'm asking. Should I just request the retroactive from April twenty two twenty twenty one which does show my signature
You should still request retroactive child support from July *, *, as HFS has a record of your initial filing date. If the judge needs proof, you can request the court to subpoena HFS for those documents.
Would you like assistance on how to request a subpoena?
Yes.
Certainly! Here's a suggested phrasing for your request for a subpoena:
**"I respectfully request the court to issue a subpoena to the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services (HFS) to obtain records verifying the initial petition for child support filed on July *, *."**
Would you like any additional assistance with your motion or any other legal information?
I still don't believe this judge will go for that because she didn't even. consider not custodial parents bank records from * and *
I understand your concerns about the judge's previous decisions. However, it's still important to make the request for the records. It shows you're making a good faith effort to provide all relevant information.
Would you like assistance with any other aspect of your case or guidance on presenting your request more effectively?
