Wisconsin Child Support Changes/Modifications

In addition to the procedure for an annual adjustment for Wisconsin child support under Wis. Stat. §767.553, child support may be modified by motion under Wis. Stat. §767.59.  Grounds to justify a revision of child support include: 1) one parent begins receiving financial assistance through a governmental program; 2) expiration of 33 months since child support last reviewed; 3) the paying person fails to timely disclose financial information; 4) change in the needs of the child; 5) change in the payer’s income (which equates to the support order changing by & 15% or more and the corresponding child support payment changing by at least $50); 6) change in payer’s earning capacity. See Wis. Stat. §767.59; see Department of Children & Families Website.
