Rule to Show Cause in Illinois Child Support

Let us assume that the non custodial parent is not observing the support order terms. For further enforcement of the order, it is essential to take the case back to court. This can be accomplished by a legal action known as 'a rule to show cause.' During this action, the non custodial parent is obliged to furnish adequate proof to the judge that would provide enough reason for his/her delinquency.

The non custodial parent qualifies for this legal action when the following conditions are met.

• The child is less than 18 years of age
• The non custodial parent has been delinquent for a minimum 90 days (each county in this state has prescribed different number of days)
