Spousal and Child Support

In the state of Wisconsin, child support is calculated according to a presumption that both parents are responsible for maintaining a decent standard of living for their child. The amount of child support is based on the Percentage of Income Standard, which takes into account both parents' income.

The standard percentage for child support is as follows:

  • 17% of income for one child
  • 25% - 2 children
  • 29% - 3 children
  • 31% - 4 children
  • 34% - 5 or more children

Nevertheless, there are some cases in which the court departs from this standard. Special child support guidelines may be entered if it is determined that it would be fair to the child or/and the parents. For example, if the parties have an extremely low or very high income, if parents share physical custody (meaning, each party spends more than 25% of the time with their child), or if the parents split physical custody of the children (when it is more than one child in a family, and siblings live with different parents).

Very easy process, just answered questions and was taken to where you needed to go. Took the hassle out of trying to figure out what to do since we are not planning on using representation. Would definitely recommend!

I found this process to be very easy and inexpensive. Because my husband is refusing to help with any of this including the financial piece this was something I could afford on my own. Also I could fill out the entire questionnaire without needing to contact him.

Very easy to use. I recommend this to anybody. If your divorce is "not" messy like mine. This is the best way to do it. I am not going to make a car payment (Porsche, Mercedes or BMW) for any Divorce Attorney any time soon...

The best decision for filing, I only needed the paperwork and to have them filed, I was quoted 4,800 just for that by a private Law firm! I paid nothing close to that with this service!!
