| Meet our Associate, Jonathan Standeford ✨

Prior to his current post, he clerked at two highly respected family law firms in Chicago, where he became the zealous advocate he is today, and his time as a 711 student-attorney at the UIC John Marshal Law School Family Law and Domestic Violence Clinic taught him the intricacies of representing victims of domestic violence.

Throughout, he dedicated himself to as many aspects of family law as he could, confident that a breadth of knowledge would make him the best possible ally, and in doing so brought to court orders of protection, maintenance, child support, and even allocation of parental responsibilities.

| The Illinois “Income Shares” Model for Child Support

In 2017, Illinois joined 40 other states and territories that use a more nuanced model called the “income shares” model. This model considers what both parents earn, the percentage of each parent’s income in relation to the total combined household income, and the amount of overnights spent by each parent with the child. The “percentage of net income” model still applies in cases decided prior to 2017, if child support was set under the old model.
