Just because you have 50/50 placement doesn't mean child support is $0. There is a complicated equation to determine child support. Search for "WI DCF-150" and there you will find how to calculate it.

If the new calculation is lower than you are paying then you should seek a free consultation with a local attorney before you file a motion to modify. There are lots of reasons the court may have ordered more than the calculation justifies.

You would have to apply the child support formula to your situation to determine what, if any, child support is payable. Having equal custody does not mean there is no child support obligation. You should consult with an attorney to determine whether you may file a Motion to modify custody or parenting time.
