Wisconsin Child Support: An Overview
Introduction
Discover important information about Wisconsin's child support laws, including how to enroll, establish paternity, locate a missing parent, and modify child support arrangements.
Enrolling in Child Support
If you're receiving state or federal public assistance, you'll be automatically referred to a child support agency for free services. If you're not on public assistance, you can visit your local child support agency to apply for support services.
Establishing Paternity
For children born within a marriage, the husband is considered the legal father. For those born out of wedlock, paternity must be established before child support can be ordered. This can be done voluntarily by filing a paternity acknowledgment form at the hospital where your child is born. If paternity is in doubt, a genetic test can determine the father.
Locating a Missing Parent
To establish paternity, the father must first be located. Wisconsin offers assistance through the Kids Information Data System (KIDS), which automatically searches computer databases for information on parents behind on child support.
Modifying Child Support
Child support cases are reviewed every three years or at the custodial parent's request. Reviews assess whether the non-custodial parent's financial situation has changed, necessitating adjustments to the support amount. Frequent reviews can also be requested if the non-custodial parent frequently changes jobs with better pay.
