1 AN ACT regarding child support.
2 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3 represented in the General Assembly:
4 Section 5. The Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of
5 Marriage Act is amended by adding Section 505.3 as follows:
6 (750 ILCS 5/505.3 new)
7 Sec. 505.3. Child support expenses accounting. If a
8 non-custodial parent paying child support under a court order
9 believes the custodial parent, despite having enough money
10 available from child support, the custodial parent's
11 earnings, and any other sources, is not spending enough money
12 to support the minor child, the non-custodial parent may
13 petition the court to order the custodial parent to account
14 for spending on the child's behalf for a designated recent
15 period of time. The court may order an accounting if it
16 finds an accounting is in the best interest of the minor
17 child.
18 If the accounting reveals that the custodial parent is
19 not providing proper support for the child, and the court
20 finds it is in the best interest of the minor child, the
21 court may order that an escrow account be established into
22 which child support payments paid by the non-custodial
23 parents shall be deposited.
