Hello, Anonymous. Yes. As a general rule, if both parents can agree on an issue then the Court will allow it. In Illinois, there are statutory guidelines on how much child support should be paid. However, these are guidelines and work as sort of a fallback support amount. If the parties can agree on another amount, whether it be more, less, or even none, then the Courts will usually allow it so long as it is done by agreement. I hope this helps.
