Relating to: income change notifications for child support or maintenance orders.
AB 153 requires parents in child support or maintenance cases to notify the child support agency within 10 business days of changes to their address, job, or significant income (like bonuses). It also creates new rules allowing parents to redact personal information (like social security numbers or home addresses) from documents shared with the agency, while clarifying that income changes alone don’t automatically adjust support payments. The bill specifically defines "shared-placement parents" and exempts them from some notification requirements if the other parent isn’t a shared-placement parent. This affects all Wisconsin parents receiving or paying child support/maintenance and the county child support agencies managing these cases.
