Wisconsin Child Custody and Support Modification Laws

In Wisconsin, child support and child custody orders may only be adjusted by court order. To order changes, courts require proof of a substantial change in circumstances of either parent or significant change in the living circumstances of a child.  Loss of a job, disability, physical abuse, and drug use or alcohol abuse are reasons to modify child support or child custody agreements. Our Milwaukee divorce lawyers at John T. Fields and Associates will help you determine whether a request for a change in child custody or child support is appropriate in your situation. 

If the situation warrants a request for a change in child support or child custody, your Milwaukee divorce lawyers will work with you to negotiate with the other parent when possible, and present the facts to the court to achieve your goals if court action is necessary. It is important that the court see why a change in your current child custody or suport order is in the best interests of your children now.

Changes to Child Custody, Visitation & Child Support Agreements

Even if parents agree to changes in child support, visitation or custody, it is necessary to have the court amend the agreement or it is not legally enforceable.
