This process is called establishing paternity. Establishing paternity guarantees a child's right to receive financial support, medical support and inheritances. In Wisconsin, the courts use a percentage of income standard to set child support. When the court orders child support, the county child support agency can help you to enforce this order. This includes current and past-due child support owed.
Federal law requires states to cooperate with each other in child support enforcement.
The child support agency will provide your case information to the other state and ask them to establish a new order or enforce an existing one. The other state will then provide all support enforcement. Paternity can also be established across state lines.
