WISCONSIN Part 37

Can I get financial support for myself and my children?

Yes. As long as paternity is established, you are entitled to receive support for your child. But the court makes separate decisions when awarding support for you and your children, so it is possible that you may only be able to get support for your children, and not for yourself.

Support for your child: Generally, the court will determine how much money each parent will pay to support a child. The court almost always uses set guidelines in a child support obligation worksheet to determine how much support you will receive. If you would like to see all of the factors that go into determining support, you can visit Wisconsin Guidelines for Setting Child Support Payment Amounts.
