THe ex husband has been able to afford killer attorneys and he has used his military service to skate on responsibilities.

Can the judge decide to increase instead of decrease payment amounts during a child support appeal in Wisconsin?
Are you talking about a Motion for De Novo Review? If so, if there is a request for modification, the modification can be either a decrease or an increase.

I pay child support for my first child, 50/50 joint custody, but I have a new baby by a different mother, and she has a new baby by a different father.
No. The first children born with a support order take priority.
My daughter is married, pregnant and she does not live with her mother. Is there a way to stop the payments since my daughter is an independent adult?
It depends on the State in which the child support Order was entered. Each State has different laws as to when a child is deemed emancipated. In Wisconsin, if she is married and pregnant, she is deemed emancipated. He would need to file a Motion to terminate the maintenance.

My ex-husband does not want my 16 year old son living with him anymore. I have had him full time for almost 2 years. I need more child support to bridge the gap. How do I go about that in Wisconsin.
You should file a Motion for Modification of Physical Placement of your son since he has been residing with you so long with your ex's consent. At the same time, you can request an Order for child support based upon these changed circumstances.
My youngest son is still 50% at his moms house. The oldest has been living with me 80% since he went to high school.
If your son is still in high school, you can modify the child support through the end of the school year until he graduates from high school or attains the age of 19, if still in high school. You can not retroactively change child support prior to the date of filing and serving your motion, but... Read more »
Per our marital settlement agreement (Wisconsin), there is specific mention as to no child support (we both have fairly equal income) and no mention of "variable costs" anywhere in our orders.

If you agree to a change in child support or placement in the future, both of you can sign a Stipulation and Order for Modification and file it with the Court. By doing so, you both can avoid filing Motions and the need to appear at Court.
He has had them the last 8 months
