Undo And Redo In Legal Wisconsin Child Support Forms For Free

Parent has a legal obligation to pay child support until the child turns 18 or 19 if still enrolled in high school or a GED course. Note that you still owe past due child support after your child turns 18. Past due child support cases can be opened up to 20 years after the youngest child on the order turns 18.

If both parents agree to change the amount of support, they may use the Office of State Court's online form, FA-604 - Stipulation and Order to Amend Judgment for Support . This can be done at the child support agency, or the parents can complete the form on their own and submit it to the child support agency.

The courts consider a significant change in your income, the recipient's income, or the needs of the child to be a substantial change. The statutes also provide that you can motion to modify child support if it is has been more than 33 months since the date of the last order.

A child support agency or custodial party may file a court action against parents who fail to pay child support. Contempt of court or criminal nonsupport charges may be filed. If convicted, the court may fine and/or jail parents for not paying support.

The easiest way to do so is to appear before the court at a hearing and acknowledge consent to termination in person. A judge will likely question the consenting parent to make sure that they fully understand the ramifications of voluntary termination and are consenting in an informed manner.

In the state of Wisconsin, that would be when the child turns 18. You can't end child support payments simply because you don't feel like the child support agreement is fair. If you truly believe that the support agreement is unfair, you would first need to request to modify the payments with the court.
