Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

(750 ILCS 5/507) (from Ch. 40, par. 507)

Sec. 507. Payment of maintenance or support to court.

(a) In actions instituted under this Act, the court shall order that
maintenance and support payments be made to the clerk of court as trustee for
remittance to the person entitled to receive the payments.  However, the court
in its discretion may direct otherwise where circumstances so warrant.

(b) The clerk of court shall maintain records listing the amount of
payments, the date payments are required to be made and the names and
addresses of the parties affected by the order. For those cases in which
support is payable to the clerk of the circuit court for transmittal to
the Department of Healthcare and Family Services (formerly Illinois Department of Public Aid) by order of the court or upon
notification of the Department of Healthcare and Family Services (formerly
						Illinois Department of Public Aid), and the 
Department collects support by assignment, offset, withholding,
deduction or other process permitted by law, the Department shall
notify the clerk of the date and amount of such collection. Upon notification,
the clerk shall record the collection on the payment record for the case.

(c) The parties affected by the order shall inform the clerk of
court of any change of address or of other condition that may affect the
administration of the order.

(d) The provisions of this Section shall not apply to cases that come
under the provisions of Sections 709 through 712.

(e) To the extent the provisions of this Section are inconsistent with the
requirements pertaining to the State Disbursement Unit under Section 507.1 of
this Act and Section 10-26 of the Illinois Public Aid Code, the requirements
pertaining to the State Disbursement Unit shall apply.
