In addition to the procedure for an annual adjustment for Wisconsin child support under Wis. Stat. §767.553, child support may be modified by motion under Wis. Stat. §767.59. Grounds to justify a revision of child support include: 1) one parent begins receiving financial assistance through a governmental program; 2) expiration of 33 months since child support last reviewed; 3) the paying person fails to timely disclose financial information; 4) change in the needs of the child; 5) change in the payer’s income (which equates to the support order changing by & 15% or more and the corresponding child support payment changing by at least $50); 6) change in payer’s earning capacity. See Wis. Stat. §767.59; see Department of Children & Families Website.
