AB198,1,3
1An Act to amend 767.263 (1) of the statutes;
relating to: requiring a child
2support payee to notify the county child support agency and the payer of any
3employer change or substantial income changes.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, an order for child or family support or maintenance must
include an order that requires the payer of the support or maintenance to notify both
the county child support agency and the payee of any change of employer and of any
substantial change in the amount of the payer's income such that his or her ability
to pay the support or maintenance is affected. This bill requires an order for child
or family support or maintenance also to include an order that requires the payee of
the support or maintenance to notify both the county child support agency and the
payer of any change of employer and of any substantial change in the payee's income.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
