(1g) DEFINITION. In this
section, “shared-placement parent” means a parent who has a
court-ordered period of placement of at least 25 percent and is ordered by the court to assume the child’s basic support costs in
proportion to the time that the parent has placement of the child.
(1r) SUPPORT OR MAINTENANCE ORDER; NOTICE REQUIREMENTS. (a) Each order for child support or maintenance payments shall include an order that the payer and payee notify the
county child support agency under s. 59.53 (5) of any change of

shall also include an order that the payer and payee notify the

party, within 10 business days, of any change of employer and of
any substantial change in the amount of his or her gross income,
as defined by rule by the department, affecting his or her ability
to pay, or the amount of, child support or maintenance. The order
shall also include a statement that notification of any substantial
change in the amount of the party’s income will not result in a

or an annual adjustment of the child support amount under s.
767.553 is sought.
