Under Wisconsin law, support continues until the child turns 18 years old, or until age 19 if the child is still in school or an equivalent program. The child support agency will need a letter on letterhead from the school providing proof of the enrollment and the expected date of graduation for child support to continue past the 18th birthday. If this letter is received after the support has been ended, our agency will reopen the support obligation and continue collection until the 19th birthday or graduation date, whichever occurs first.

A post judgement family motion must be filed through the Clerk of Courts.

If it has been more than 33 months since your order was reviewed, you automatically qualify for a review. Your Social Services case worker can provide a review packet. If it has been less, you must demonstrate a "substantial" change in circumstances, such as an increase or decrease in income or a court-ordered change in placement. We do not review orders based on unpaid medical bills, lack of visitation, or other related issues.

You may file a post judgement pro se (do-it-yourself) family motion through the Clerk of Courts or receive the help of any attorney. You can use the Wisconsin Court System's self-help center.

First, the parent owing support must file a tax return and have a refund due.

Parents Receiving Support:

• You will usually get the support payment from federal joint returns about six months after the Trust Fund gets the payment.
• You will usually receive the support payment from all state refunds and federal non-joint refunds about two days after the Trust Fund receives the tax intercept.
• If you receive a support payment from a tax refund, the fee is 10% of each collection of $10 or more not to exceed $25.

Parents Paying Support:

• If you no longer owe the debt after you have been notified of the intercept, but before the intercept has been receipted, the monies will be refunded to you immediately.
• You request a hearing about the tax intercept, the money cannot be sent to you until after the hearing.
• If you are married, you may file an injured spouse claim to receive a portion of your refund.
