For joint custody, child support in WI is calculated as follows:
Each parent's gross monthly income is multiplied by the appropriate percentage (17% for one child, 25% for two children, 29% for three children and upwards).
Each amount is then multiplied by 150% to account for household maintenance expenditures duplicated by both parents such as a bedroom, clothes, and personal items.
Then each amount is multiplied by the proportion of the time that the child spends with the other parent to determine each parent's child support obligation (If placement is equal, each side is multiplied by 50%. If placement is 60% with the mother and 40% with the father, then multiply the father's amount by 60% and the mother's by 40%).
Offset the resulting amounts against each other. The parent with a greater child support obligation is the person with the support obligation.
Refer to Wisconsin DCF 150.04 for more information as it can be more complicated than this with various offsets and provisions for high income parents vs. low income parents.

Can a parent that is behind in child support get joint custody of a child whos mother already has full legal custody?
Certainly some evidence of responsibility (ie paying child support, job, time spent with the child) would help your case. Joint custody, however, is not just for the purpose of reducing child support; infact the child support you pay is nowhere near what it costs to raise a child. Consider the ramifications of your sharing custody--what is in the best interests of the child??
How does joint custody affect child support in Georgia?
It depends on the type of joint custody. Custody is broken down into two subcategories- legal and physical. Legal custody is the ability to make decisions concerning the child and to act on the child's behalf. Physical custody is who the child lives with. Typically unless the child spends exactly 50 percent of the time with each parent, one parent is considered to have primary custody and the other parent to have secondary custody or visitation rights. Child support is based on who has primary physical custody, and that parent is typically awarded child support from the parent who has the child less since having the child more usually means that you provide for more of their needs as well.
Can you gain sole custody of a child by receiving child support?
