According to Wisconsin Child support guidelines, the non-custodial parent needs to pay the custody amount to the custodial parent.

• A parent whose parenting time is less than 50% consider to be a non-custodial parent.
• The support amount will cover the child’s expenses like education, health care, insurance, recreational facilities, etc.
• In the case of an unemployed parent, the support money would compute according to an estimate prepared by the court.
• The support amount will be charged as a percentage based on the number of dependent children, whether from the marriage or not.
• There are two tables for computing the support for low-income and high-income earning parents.
