Child Support & DCF Guidelines in Wisconsin 2024
A careful calculation
Child support calculations and placement of the children are some of the most contentious and complicated matters in family law cases. Effective January 1, 2024, the Wisconsin Department of Children and Families issued updated guidelines (DCF 150) for determining child support intended to increase reliable support for children based on the noncustodial parent’s earnings, income, or ability to pay.

- A more uniform approach to calculating credits for serial parent payers
- Deviations for high- and low-income payers
- Families with shared and/or split placement schedules
- Situations in which information about a parent is unknown
