What % can I be left with to live on in the state of Wisconsin??

Question

I live in Wisconsin & currently pay child support on 2 children from 2 relationships.My first childs mother took me back into court for modification,thirty-three months have pasted.A month prior to our hearing my position at work changed.I no longer receive overtime or shift premium.The judge took 17% of my annual gross, from 1-06 thru 5-06.The new set dollar amount increased by $50.00 per week.The judge really didn't seem to care about the points that I brought up on why I felt she should not calculate the new amount this way.She set the new order anyway.Before I even left the court house I went & filed a motion to appeal that decision,due to the fact that I do not make what the judge stated I do anymore.We have a "Hearing De Novo" scheduled for next week.I have gotten statements from my employer stating those benefits are no longer available to me.Can the judge use what she wants to calculate support?What can I do to TRY to have it calculated from my HOURLY pay?

Answer 1

She has to go by your actual income. She cannot make it whatever she wants to. I don't know what percentage they use in your state, but your lawyer should know. Good luck.
