Payment Plans
Help for parents who owe past-due support

A payment plan provides a way for you to pay off past-due child support while also paying your current support. As long as you follow your payment plan, it will:

• Stop actions to suspend or deny your recreational (hunting, fishing), driver’s, and professional and occupational licenses
  
• Stop actions to seize your bank accounts, including checking, savings, IRAs, and mutual funds
  
• Stop actions to seize your titled property (home, car)
  
• Allow you to apply for state government loans and grants (such as college grants and WHEDA loans)
  
• Allow you to sell titled property (land, cars) with a Child Support Lien

Important: Child support agencies mail notices to the last known address they have on file before taking any of the actions listed above. Make sure your child support agency knows your mailing address. You can update your address on the Child Support Online Services website or by contacting your child support agency.

You must follow your payment plan by making all the payments when due. If you do not follow your payment plan, your child support agency can take actions against your bank accounts, property, and licenses. If you do not follow your plan, you might not be able to get government grants and loans.
