Default Illinois Child-Support calculations

2 questions;

Does a current spouses(of a CP)income have any bearing on the NCP
child support amount in Illinois?

Can a judge legally force the current spouse of a CP to maintain
health insurance on the step-children when the NCP is obligated to do
so under a Marital Settlement Agreement?


I would say the judge could not order a third party, like a new spouse, to
cover the children. However, a judge could order the CP to notify the NCP
of any changes in insurance coverage for life and healthcare on the children
so the parties can designate primary and secondary coverage for benefit
coordination. With two policies there should be little or no uninsured
healthcare expenses after the deductibles are paid.
