What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Wisconsin
I have Sole Custody and Full Placement of my 12 year old. His father was in jail and is now out. He has a job. The court order so far stands at $75/week Plus $10 for arrears. He works at Kipp in Madison WI. I don't know the pay scale, but he works factory and since he is new, I am only assuming entry. Probably around $10/hr- not sure. I recently got laid off of work as of August 8, 2014. He has paid nothing. I support my household by myself ( no partner) I got a letter from Court saying that the child support will reconvene in October.
My question: Can we get more support? Is it in our best interest? There are other expenses to consider, such as school activities and his music lessons. His dental and medical is covered under BadgerCare.
Thank you for all of your help.
