The Child Support Lien Docket is a registry containing the names of people who owe past-due child support. Past-due support constitutes a lien against a delinquent payer's real and titled personal property. The lien is effective as soon as it has been recorded on the Child Support Lien Docket.

The Wisconsin Department of Children and Families maintains the Child Support Lien Docket using real-time data from KIDS, Wisconsin's automated child support enforcement database. The names of payers with a lien and the liens against them are public records of the State of Wisconsin and are compiled in this docket for public disclosure to interested parties.
