In Illinois the Family Financial Responsibility Act, allows the courts and the child support collection services of the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services (DHFS) to suspend the driver's license of parents that falls behind in making court-ordered child-support payments. The law outlines two ways for this to happen: 1) Court Ordered Suspension A Will County judge may rule that a parent is at least 90 days behind on child support payments.

Many divorces are driven by financial problems, losses of jobs or even another spouse mis-using and abusing credit. In most every divorce I advise clients that I can only do as good a job as the information that was provided to me. This means going to the source of documents. One such source for your financial standing is getting a copy of your credit report - which you can get for free. Free Annual Credit Report Here is the web address to get a credit report from  all three credit bureaus: www.annualcreditreport.com .  Beware of scams or websites that require you to pay for your credit report because you can get it free at this website. This is the same website the Federal Trade Commission recommends http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/microsites/freereports/index.shtml .  Note the free annual credit report can only be obtained once per year and does not include your FICO credit score. To obtain your credit score, you may wish to go directly to the company...

Doctor Data Back Online  (follow this link) The Illinois Supreme Court has lifted the hold on a database that gives information on lawsuits against doctors and chiropractors.

In the case the father had three sons with his former wife and divorced in 1996. The divorce settlement reserved the issue of college expenses for future consideration which is very common in divorces. The mother in this case asked a Cook County circuit judge to award her past and future college expenses for all three sons. The judge ordered the father to pay 75 percent of the PAST and future college expenses for all three sons, which totaled more than $273,000. The father appealed and the appellate court said the order improperly changed the divorce decree before the date the mother asked for it to be changed so that the father should not be li...
