The Wisconsin Child Support Program

Note: The guidelines for setting child support have been renamed to Child Support Standard from Percentage of Income Standard. Most orders for child support use the Shared Income calculation, so that is now the primary way to calculate support. If shared placement does not apply (paying parent has at least 92 overnight), then child support is calculated using the applicable percent of income and any special circumstances that may apply.

This change does not require any child support order to be reviewed.

We understand that families rely on child support payments being processed timely, and consider the Wisconsin Child support program to be an essential government service. The well-being of our customers and staff is our highest priority, and we are taking necessary precautions to ensure that we do our part to help reduce the spread of COVID-19 while balancing the need to serve you.
