Understanding Child Support In Wisconsin
Determining child support is a primary concern for parents going through a divorce and for unmarried parents who are ending their relationships. However, in most cases, it is not the parents who calculate child support amounts. Wisconsin has a statutory child support formula that determines fair payment amounts based on a range of factors, including parental income and percentage of physical placement. While the guidelines act as a good resource, parents must understand that family law judges always have ultimate discretion and can deviate from the formula if there are extenuating circumstances.
