Can I lose child support if I had an affair?

Child support is the other parents half of the expenses your child costs each month. You pay the other half. What you do in your private life, sleep with etc, can not change the fact that each parent have to pay for their child. He has an obligation to pay for his child just like you do so the child support goes to the one who has custody for the child. The court do not care about that you had an affair and will not let your child lose 50% of his/hers financial support because of it. Whether to pay or not is not up to the parents.


I am paying child support in Wisconsin for 1 child I am divorcing in Iowa and my wife is getting half my salary in alimony Can I modify my child support order based on half income?

You can not modify your child support. Only the court can modify your child support. It is possible the court will do that. It is unusual for your wife to get half your salary. In setting child support, this is a deductible item in all states, that should have been taken into consideration. If not, you can request a modification. see links below
