What this typically includes
Calculating support under the state guideline, preparing and filing the petition, modification, or enforcement action, negotiation, and representation at hearings. Court filing fees and any income or vocational experts are billed separately.
Wisconsin uses the percentage of income model, which bases child support primarily on the paying (noncustodial) parent’s income, applying a set percentage rather than combining both parents’ incomes.
Child support attorneys in Wisconsin usually bill hourly for contested cases and a flat fee for simple, agreed orders. Wisconsin sets support by its guideline formula, and you can also use the state child-support agency for free — though a private attorney typically moves faster and advocates for you.
