Divorced Income

In the March issue of the Illinois Bar Journal, Reuben A. Bernick revisits a previous IBJ article of his assessing the conflict between: a) cases holding that postdecree proceeds from the sale of retirement assets were income subject to child support and maintenance and b) other cases holding that such proceeds were not income and therefore not subject to support obligations. Reuben, in his March 2026 article, “Divorced Income,” says there continues to be no definitive resolution to this conflict in the caselaw. But subsequent decisions applying one view or the other to specific factual situations continue to rollout and are worthy of an attorney’s attention and analysis.
