I have a question is it appropriate for the non-custodial parent and his attorney to be filing motions for Sanctions In a child support case in Chicago Illinois cook county against me if I discovered the noncustodial parent has a hidden bank accounts with hidden income under the table he receives
Hello Alisa,
In Illinois, sanctions can be filed if misconduct or non-compliance with court rules occur. However, hidden income is a serious issue in child support cases.
- Discovery methods can be used to reveal this information.
- If proven, it could lead to a modification of existing child support arrangements.
You should consult a local attorney for personalized advice.
So now if child support was set on November *, * for $*.* biweekly because the non-custodial parent claimed he does not receive income under the table and does not have any other hidden accounts and I discover that he does in fact have a Hidden and come he receives under the table in a hidden bank account in July * can I still file something with the court as a child support payments that were sets in November *, * can be considered an accurate as there was actually an entire hidden bank account that was kept from the court
Yes, you can file for a modification of the child support order:
- You must provide evidence of the hidden income.
- Illinois law allows modification if there's a substantial change in circumstances.
- Consult your attorney for the best course of action.
My evidence is that I submitted a subpoena that was stamped by the circuit clerk to Bank of America and the noncustodial parents attorney faxed a letter telling the bank to refrain from providing me with the bank records
It seems you've taken appropriate steps. However, the response of the noncustodial parent's attorney might require further action:
- You may need to file a motion to compel the bank records.
- If the attorney's action is obstructing your case, you could consider reporting it to the court.
Always consult with your attorney for advice tailored to your situation.
I’ve filed an objection to her motion to quash my subpoena
Great, Alisa. Objecting to a motion to quash is a good step. If the court sides with you, the bank may be required to give you the records. Keep in touch with your attorney for further steps.
What it be concerning if the judge sides with the noncustodial parent keeping the bank records from the Hidden account from me in a child support case I’m just curious
If the judge sides with the noncustodial parent:
- It could mean they found compelling reasons to protect the records.
- However, it doesn't automatically validate the noncustodial parent's income claims.
- Consult your attorney for potential next steps, based on the judge's reasoning.
In Illinois in a civil matter especially for child support payments and college expenses and I find the hidden account that contains hidden income I don’t see no reason that his child support would side with the non-custodial parent as that would be concerning and I would definitely report to George to the board at that point
Alisa, if you believe there's a bias or misconduct, you can file a complaint against the judge:
- Illinois' Judicial Inquiry Board handles such complaints.
- Keep in mind, this can be a serious step and should be discussed with your attorney first.
