Wood County Child Support, in partnership with CW Solutions, is one of five counties in Wisconsin to operate a five-year demonstration project through the Wisconsin Department of Children and Families to provide a new and innovate approach to services for Non-Custodial Parents with a support order. This program, called ELEVATE was established January 2020, in lieu of more traditional, enforcement-oriented approaches.
ELEVATE provides four key program services including: intensive case management , employment & training, parenting, and enhanced child support. The goal of the program is to support Non-Custodial Parents in becoming financially stable, increasing support payments and fostering a stronger relationship with their children; in addition, to strengthening the relationship between Child Support, Non-Custodial and Custodial Parents.
