Wisconsin Child Support
Wisconsin child support is based upon official guidelines and percentage standards for the calculation of support. A Wisconsin Court will also consider the following in determining child support:

the standard of living the child would have enjoyed if the marriage had not been dissolved;
-
the physical and emotional conditions and educational needs of the child;
-
the financial resources, earning capacity, needs, and obligations of the parents;
-
the age and health of the child;
-
the desirability of the parent having custody remaining in the home as a full-time parent;
-
the cost of day care to the parent having custody if that parent works outside the home, or the value of the child care services performed by that parent;
-
the tax consequences to each parent;
-
the award of substantial periods of physical placement to both parents (joint custody);
-
any extraordinary travel expenses incurred in exercising the right to periods of physical placement;
