It is important that your child receives the utmost care and support no matter how the family dynamic has changed. Most parents are capable of providing emotional support to their child but may struggle with being able to provide financial support.
Regardless, it is the responsibility of both parents to provide financially for their child. At Laster & Associates, our child support lawyers fight to get your child the support he or she deserves.
One or both parents must pay child support for a child:
Support includes paying for the child’s food, shelter, and other necessities. Variable costs – expenses in reasonable excess of basic support, such as tuition and recreational expenses – may also be mandated by the court.
The amount of child support in Wisconsin is determined by state guidelines which take into account the paying parent’s gross pre-tax income and the number of children they are responsible for supporting. For example, 17% of the paying parent’s income, under the guidelines goes toward the care for one child; this increases to 25% for two children and reaches 33% for five children.
The court does not, however, strictly adhere to these guidelines. The court considers placement of the child in addition to the income of the family in determining the amount of child support payments. As you can see, it is important to consult with a skilled child support attorney prior to going to court.
If your family circumstances change, the court may also modify a child support order. No matter what obstacle you face, the dedicated attorneys at Laster & Associates are here to help you.
If a parent is past due on child support payments, there may be serious consequences including:
