Under current law, in an action affecting the family, such as a divorce, when the petition commencing the action is filed, the social security numbers of the parties, of each minor child of the parties, and of each child born to the wife during the marriage must be filed with the court on a form that is separate from the petition. This bill limits the social security numbers that must be filed for children born to the wife during the marriage to those of minor children who were born to the wife during the marriage. The bill also provides that, in a paternity action, the form with the social security numbers of the parties and minor child must be filed with the court within five business days after paternity is adjudicated, rather than at the beginning of the action when the petition is filed.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
