Milwaukee Child Support Attorneys

Representing the rights of children in Milwaukee

At John T. Fields and Associates, our divorce attorneys represent the rights of our Milwaukee divorce clients during the process of determining the proper amount of child support. Our Wisconsin family law attorneys recognize that raising a child is demanding in itself and no parent should have an unfair financial burden because the other parent does not want to live up to their financial obligation.

Determining Child Support in Wisconsin

Wisconsin child support payments are determined by state child support guidelines that take into account the custody and placement arrangement between the parents, the number of nights per year that the children will be spending with each parent and the income of each parent. Special needs of a child may also be considered when determining child support.

If one parent is awarded primary physical placement, a percentage standard of gross income is used to determine child support. If there is a shared placement a different formula is used that relies on the amount of time the child spends with each parent and the income of each parent.

Racine and Kenosha Area Child Support Modifications Lawyers

Child support needs and obligations can change throughout the years as the material circumstances of the children or parents change. Sometimes, more child support is needed; sometimes a child support reduction is in order. Our family law practice represents the interests of our clients in all post decree modification matters.

Madison Child Support Disputes and Enforcements

Our Wisconsin family law firm also handles child support enforcement matters. Our Milwaukee divorce attorneys help parents secure current child support and back payments from parents who are able to pay child support but selfishly choose not to.
