Divorce doesn’t just change your relationship — it reshapes your finances in ways many parents don’t expect. In this episode of the Illinois Divorce Guide Podcast, Greer Howard is joined by top Illinois divorce attorney Bobby Buchanan to break down one of the most misunderstood (and emotionally charged) financial realities of divorce: how parenting time and child support directly impact your financial future.
Greer and Bobby walk through how Illinois child support guidelines actually work, why the court prioritizes formulas over fairness, and how parenting time percentages can drastically change child support obligations.
