Yes, assuming your child support was based on an income calculation that deducted support paid to the child from a previous relationship. However, the $50 amount suggests that the payor's income is very low, so adding that previous support amount back into his/her income may not bring the... View More 
We had joint placement but my ex didn't have day care for him so he said I had to take him for the summer. Now that schools in place he wants him every other week again and I think he's doing much better full time with me. He refuses to pay anything more.

If you want to receive child support, you would need a court order in place to be able to enforce it. In most cases, child support will follow a placement order so you will probably want to request an order for primary placement and then request the court to calculate child support for that as...

We were divorced in Racine County

Since both of you are in agreement with regard to the changing placement and child support, you can file a stipulation with the court highlighting the changes you wish to make. Both of you need to sign this document and you will need to have it notarized as well. However, be aware that the changes... View More

If neither party shows up for a child support hearing, it is likely the case will be dismissed and the judge will not make a ruling on the issue.
Can he fight me for more time w our son? Or try to get child support from me?
answered on Aug 23, 2017
He can fight you all he wants for more placement or child support but that does not necessarily mean he is going to get what he wants. He is not likely going to be able to get child support from you unless he has the majority of the placement time. Of course there are many other factors that play... View More
My ex-husband and I have had a temporary order for physical placement and legal custody in place for over a year and a half. It states that I am to have contact with our 3 children and I have not had contact with them since the end of January, and before that it was few and very far between.... View More

As you say he is your ex-husband, I am assuming you have already gotten the final decree of divorce. If that is the case, I am not sure why there would be a temporary since that would have been valid only during the interim of the divorce process. Either way, if you have a court order stating you...

So if I understand your question correctly, you are describing a situation where you are married to a woman who has a child with another man from a past relationship. If that is the case, you technically do not have any rights to that child unless you adopted the child following a termination of... View More
Can i keep her when she comes for the summer. CPS has been called on her dad and gf twice and nothing has been done. She isnt safe...She lives by lacrosse Wi and i live by Madison...what can i do....

Considering that it doesn't sound like there are any existing court orders regarding placement and custody, it seems to me that you would be best off petitioning the court in Dane County for custody and placement orders. Without any existing orders in place, you would most likely have to open... View More
Him and I talked about me moving out of town . When it came time and I moved he got upset and is now taking me to court.... What can I do.
answered on Jun 12, 2017
It depends on if this agreement on placement was part of the initial divorce proceeding. In other words, if you incorporated this agreement in writing as part of the divorce proceedings and the court accepted this, then it is a court order and he is obliged to follow it. However, if for some reason... View More

No, the court will base child support based on the percentage of placement as set forth in the current order.

You need to get a court order requiring visitation. You should really talk with a lawyer about the facts of the case and go from there.
