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.

Sec. 604. Choice of law.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (d), the law of the
issuing state or foreign country governs:

(1) the nature, extent, amount, and duration of

current payments under a registered support order;

(2) the computation and payment of arrearages and

accrual of interest on the arrearages under the support order; and

(3) the existence and satisfaction of other

obligations under the support order.

(b) In a proceeding for arrears under a registered support order, the
statute of limitation of this State, or of the issuing state or foreign country, whichever is
longer, applies.

(c) A responding tribunal of this State shall apply the procedures and
remedies of this State to enforce current support and collect arrears and
interest due on a support order of another state or a foreign country registered in this State.

(d) After a tribunal of this State or another state determines which is the
controlling order and issues an order consolidating arrears, if any, a tribunal
of this State shall prospectively apply the law of the state or foreign country issuing the
controlling order, including its law on interest on arrears, on current and
future support, and on consolidated arrears.
