Parents' Rights and Responsibilities
Legal Representation
- The child support attorney will handle legal issues connected with
obtaining and enforcing a child support order. Parents may hire a private
attorney if they wish. Parents applying for services should inform their
child support agency if they do hire a private attorney.
- It is very important that parents understand that child support
attorneys who appear at their child support court hearings are there to
represent the interests of the State of Wisconsin. Child support attorneys
do not represent either parent.
- There is no attorney-client relationship between parents and child
support attorneys.
- Child support attorneys do not handle custody and placement issues.
