About Eau Claire, WI Law Firm

In the state of Wisconsin, child support is set based upon two primary factors: The first is the placement schedule. If one parent has primary placement then there are guideline percentages for child support, i.e., 17% of gross income for one child; 25% of gross income for two children, 29% of gross income for three children, etc. If the parents fall into what is called "shared placement" then there is a different formula. Shared placement means that each parent has at least 92 overnight placements with the children per year. If the parents fall into the shared placement category then there is a comparison of the mother's income and the father's income under a specific formula based upon the percentage of overnights each parent has. Again, child support is based upon gross income of the parent or parents and gross income is broadly defined to include just about every source of income.
