Information for parents & guardians getting (or wanting to get) support

The Wisconsin Child Support Program can help you if you apply for case management (child support) services.

Please keep in contact with your child support agency if you get case management services (or your court if you only get financial management services.)

• Update your mailing address, if you get a new job, or if you change jobs. State law requires that you report these changes within 10 days.
• Many support notices are sent by mail. To ensure that you receive important notices, your office needs your current mailing address. State law requires that you report these changes within 10 days. Contact your child support agency or court to update your information. You can also update your address and phone number online (registration required).
• Report any new information about the other parent that might help with your case. You might learn information about the other parent’s address and job changes before the child support agency.

Make sure you attend all scheduled court hearings. Courts may make a decision whether or not you attend the hearing. In many cases, you may be able to attend a hearing by phone (if you don't live near-by). See information about child support attorneys.
