This course includes a previously recorded workshop featuring legal experts who will help you understand the Income Shares Child Support Model:

You will also learn about creating a parenting plan, a document that lays out who will make decisions for a child and how those decisions will be made. This was called "custody" but this term is no longer used in Illinois.
