Make Legal Wisconsin Child Support Forms For Free

The state places no cap on the amount of child support a paying parent must pay each month. Instead, it's based solely on the amount of income both parents make each month, the amount the greater-earning parent earns, and the parenting/custody time of each parent.

Is there a limit to the amount of money that can be taken from my paycheck for child support? 50 percent of disposable income if an obligated parent has a second family. 60 percent if there is no second family.

Because child support is so important, the law sets a very high limit on the amount that can be withheld from your paycheck for this purpose. If you are not currently supporting another child or spouse who are not the subject of the order, up to 60% of your wages can be garnished.

Ing to the New York Civil Practice Law and Rules (CPLR) section 5241 and the Consumer Credit Protection Act (CCPA), the maximum amount that can be withheld for child support is between 50% - 65% of your disposable earnings, depending on your situation.

For one child in Wisconsin, your child support will be 17 percent of your earnings. So, if you have one child with your former spouse, and they kept custody of the child, you'll pay 17 percent for the child's support. That means if your monthly income is $2,500, you'll pay $425 a month for child support in Wisconsin.
