It is difficult to answer your question without more facts from you. (1) what is the current placement schedule? Is it shared / equal placement? does the other parent have pirmary placement? (2) how long ago was the child support order set? if more than 33 months, there is a presumption under Wisconsin law, that there is a substantial change in circumstances sufficient to modify the support order; (3) if you are under a court order to pay child support, and cannot comply due to significant health reasons that impair your ability to work, certainly a letter from your doctor at the preliminary level of the court commissioner hearing may help. Keep in mind that technically, the letter from your doctor is "hearsay evidence" and can be objected to by your ex spouse or their attorney. If the case goes to a contested hearing, you may have to bring in the doctor to testify. It might be best to talk first hand to an experienced family lawyer before filing a motion to modify the support payments.
