An Illinois Order to Terminate Child Support is a court order issued by a judge in the state of Illinois that terminates the obligation to pay court-ordered child support. This order is issued when the child support recipient no longer requires financial support, or when the court determines that the paying parent no longer has the financial means to support the child. Depending on the circumstances, there are two types of Illinois Order to Terminate Child Support: a Voluntary Termination Order, and a Motion to Terminate Order. A Voluntary Termination Order is filed when both parents agree to terminate the child support obligation, while a Motion to Terminate Order is typically filed when the paying parent can no longer afford to make the payments. It is important to note that a Termination Order does not necessarily absolve the paying parent of past due payments, so both parents should consult a family law attorney before signing any agreement.
