Parents' Rights and Responsibilities
Confidentiality
In general, information about a specific child support case cannot be given to anyone other than the parties (usually the mother and the father), their attorneys, or an attorney assigned to the child without the written consent of the parties.
Information may be shared with others for the purpose of administration of the child support program and other related programs. Related programs include the BadgerCare Plus, Kinship Care, SSI Caretaker Supplement, and W-2 programs.
If the release of a parent’s address, phone number, employer, or other location information would put the parent or the children at risk of harm, the parent should talk to the child support worker about privacy protection.
The exceptions to confidentiality are:
- Child Support Lien Docket - Information on this electronic list is public information.
- Records maintained by the clerk of courts:
Release of information maintained by the clerks of court is regulated by §19.33 Wis. Stats., and §19.35 Wis. Stats. - Criminal and civil court actions
