Payment Dispute In Custody

Summary

In Illinois, modifying a court order requires demonstrating significant changes in circumstances or misrepresentation. If a formal agreement specified payment responsibilities and is not being honored, it could strengthen your case. Gather evidence like written agreements and communications to support your claim. If you are financially unable to pay for high-cost activities due to having multiple children, include this in your motion to vacate and modify the order. Additionally, if you assumed the order would cover past due child support, state this clearly. Highlighting your current debt situation can further illustrate financial hardship. Consider consulting a local attorney for personalized advice.

i am adding that to my motion to vacate and modify order
Legal Insight:
In Illinois, modifying or vacating a court order typically requires proving a significant change in circumstances or demonstrating that the original order was based on false information or a misunderstanding.
Points to Consider:
- Breach of Contract: If there was a formal agreement specifying who is responsible for payments, and it’s not being honored, this could strengthen your case.
- Evidence: Gather any written agreements, communications, or invoices to support your claim.
Question:
Did the original court order explicitly state who was responsible for the costs of these activities?
can you add that i am not financially able to pay for high cost activities as i have multiple children in the home.
Sure, you can definitely include that information in your motion to vacate and modify the order. Here’s how you might phrase it:
"I am not financially able to pay for high-cost activities as I have multiple children in the home."
This additional information can help demonstrate a significant change in circumstances that may strengthen your case.
