- Q. How can I regain guardianship and custody of my son in juvenile detention in Wisconsin?
- A: Your sister can resign as guardian and nominate you in her place. Then, you need to file a Motion to be successor guardian to her guardianship.
- Q. If I marry someone who owes current and back child support, will I be court ordered to pay?
- A: No.
- Q. My kids father left for rehab in another state over a year ago and now is outta treatment living working in that state.
- A: Abandonment is only considered in termination of parental rights cases when there is also an accompanying adoption. In that case, it would be six months with absolutely no contact with the child.
In Wisconsin with Family Court cases, if he is not exercising court ordered placement, you can file a motion to have it held open for failure to exercise placement.
