On or about July 5, 2001, the Circuit Court of Cook County,
Illinois, issued a modification to its May 29, 2001, order. The
court found petitioner’s net income to be approximately $895.41
per week. Under the modified court order, petitioner was
required to pay $429.79 per week as “unallocated support.” Page 2
of the modified court order, however, provides that “[T]he amount
of child support cannot be expressed exclusively as a dollar
amount because all or a portion of the obligor’s income is
uncertain as to source, time of payment, or amount.” The
modified order further states that child support payments would
be paid in an amount equal to 48% of petitioner’s net weekly
income (or $429.82).
In addition to the child support payment, petitioner was
required to continue to pay medical and dental insurance for Ms.
Flanigan and the two children. Petitioner was also required to
maintain a $250,000 life insurance policy on himself, with Ms.
Flanigan as the beneficiary, at a cost to petitioner of $700 per
year. The children, however, were not named as alternate income
beneficiaries.
