Relating to: the assignment of child support orders and arrears to the state when a child enters foster care and the role of the Department of Children and Families, county departments of human and social services, and juvenile courts in referring, collecting, and ordering child support. (FE)

Summary

The bill changes Wisconsin law so that any child‑support order and unpaid support become the state's responsibility once a child is placed in foster care. It requires the Department of Children and Families, county human‑service agencies, and juvenile courts to refer certain parents—those with very high incomes or receiving adoption assistance—for enforcement. The aim is to make sure children in state care receive the support they are owed.
