Most likely, yes.
Courts will not simply waive child support payment because a parent lost their job. Instead, the parent will be expected to find a new job quickly, as a child (or children) should not need to suffer because a parent lost their job and cannot find the “right” job quickly.
However, in some situations, there may be extenuating circumstances. If an individual experiences an unexpected and significant financial hardship, such as the loss of employment or a costly medical treatment, they may become delinquent on their child support payments. In such situations, as a Rockford child support attorney, I can assist in requesting a reevaluation of your support obligations.
