Grandparents' Visitation in WI
Grandparents have very few rights of visitation in WI. Their visitation is therefore dependent upon the visitation rights of the parents (i.e., their son, who is the biological father). Aiding anyone with an active arrest warrant also constitutes the crime of aiding a fugitive in WI. You could therefore potentially be arrested and jailed for assisting a fugitive in visiting a child (unless the fugitive first surrenders to authorities or resolves the problems via other means).
