A: In Wisconsin, to remove a child support lien from your vehicle and get the title back after paying what you owe, you typically do not need an attorney. First, pay the outstanding amount to the county child support agency that issued the lien. After payment, the agency should provide you with a lien release document. You may need to contact them directly for specific instructions on obtaining this release if you're experiencing difficulty. Once you have the lien release, you can submit it to the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to have the lien removed from your title.
