Changing child support in WI

[paj]

I hope I can get some help here. My fiance has 3 daughters from 2 different women. He is court ordered to pay 187.00 a week for them and is slowly getting himself behind. The amount is based on what he was making yrs ago and for the past 5 yrs has only grossed 19,000-20,000 a yr. Now after using the child support calculation, I figured out that he has been paying way to much, which would explain why he's getting behind. Also his one daughter graduated last may, is now 19 and he is still paying for her. He did fill out abunch of paperwork last Aug and personnally dropped them off at the child support office and after months of not hearing anything he called them 3 weeks ago and they told him it takes 6-8 months. WHAT? That is a bunch of crap if you ask me especially when the daughter hasn't even lived with his ex since she graduated. Nothing like getting FREE money which she already gets from the state because for some reason she feels she doesn't have to work like the rest of us. I'm about at the end of my rope here so I hope I can get some help as to what he needs to do. He was told by child support that in order to get his support changed he needs to file a motion? Is this something he can do on his own, or does he need a lawyer and how much will that cost. Please if anyone has some answers or has been down this road and can help it would be GREATLY appreciated.

You want a serious absolute solution?

Break up with him.

Tell him as soon as he gets HIS child support business taken care of, you might consider seeing him again. He'll likely have it fixed by the end of next week, without your help.

If not, you'll know he's a loser and you can move on to another guy who actually takes care of his business and doesn't need a mommy.

I'll only add to that sage advice to help him facilitate getting back with you by giving him the URL for this web forum.

Throw him a bone. We'll get him back on track so he won't be out of your arms for very long. If he's smart.

Do not do this for this guy. Stand back and watch how he handles his business, it will give you lots of clues about how he handles conflict and problem solves. If you're irritated now, imagine how you'll feel when he behaves like this after you're married and your monies are combined.
