Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.
Remarriage notice and ending spousal support
Recipients of child support or spousal maintenance must notify the court and payer within 10 business days of remarriage. The court must cancel a final maintenance order upon proof of remarriage or the payer's application with notice. This ends the maintenance obligation, not the child support obligation.
Support reporting duties and enforcement costs
Wisconsin child support and spousal maintenance orders require both parties to report employer changes and substantial gross-income changes to each other and the county child support agency within 10 business days. For child-support-only orders, income outside the state's gross-income definition need not be disclosed; recipients need not report employer or income changes to a payer who is not a shared-placement parent. A shared-placement parent has at least 25% court-ordered placement and must cover basic child support costs in proportion to that time. Income changes do not automatically change payments: parties must seek a court revision or use the annual adjustment process. Failing to provide court-required information can lead to contempt proceedings; after finding a failure, the court may award costs and reasonable attorney fees to the party bringing the action.
Privacy protections for support financial records
When sharing income-change documents with the other party, you may hide specified private details unless the court orders otherwise. These include protected home or work addresses, a spouse's name and birth date, and identifying details about an unrelated minor child. You may also hide Social Security, employer, tax, investment account, military, and benefit-access identification numbers. Other personal details not needed to determine income or financial status may also be hidden. Information disclosed under the support notice rules receives state-law confidentiality protections.
