Support Services

Financial management services

All families paying and receiving support get financial management services.

Wisconsin law requires that all support payment, including child support, family support, and maintenance (alimony) be sent to the Wisconsin Support Collection Trust Fund.

Financial services are limited, but include:

  • working with employers to withhold income
  • processing payments
  • providing copies of your account histories
  • providing pay by phone option to payers
  • providing direct deposit to payees
  • providing payment information by phone and online

Fees

Fees are charged to both the payer and payee for these services.  These fees help pay for the services provided.

Services not included:

For families only getting financial services
Actions to ensure that payments are made or sent to the Trust Fund are not included with financial management services.  Families may hire an attorney or use the pro se (do-it-yourself) process to enforce or change a court order.
