Divorce is the disassembly of a legal contract the division of assets and the legal signing of responsibility for property that can not be physically divided. No judge or parent can split children in two, physically or emotionally. Though Wisconsin child custody and child support laws can be complex in determining the monthly child support payments and welfare of your child, specific factors that prioritize the well-being of your child are considered. The following factors help determine the monthly child support you or your child’s other parent must pay:

The number of children you both have together
The other parent’s yearly gross income
Your yearly gross income
The child(ren)’s placement schedule
