Legal Question in Family Law in Wisconsin

Re: Child custody hearing

The following is information and not legal advice. The child has a right to have a lawyer represent her. If you retain a lawyer, s/he may be able to reopen the judgment and try to correct the lies as much as possible. A contested issue should never be handled by pro se people in any circumstance. Good luck,

Atty. E. Romero

Re: Child custody hearing

This response is for general information purposes only and does not create an attorney-client relationship.

Your question indicates that it has to do with both Wisconsin and Minnesota law. A threshold question before much else can be answered is this: When your husband and his X went to court, where was that? Somewhere in Wisconsin? Somewhere in Minnesota?

I see there is already a response from a lawyer from Milwaukee. He talks about the girl's right to have a lawyer of her own appointed. Minnesota law permits that as well, and most judges would require it.

I agree with the other comments by Mr. Romero as well: it is time for your husband to find himself a lawyer. These matters are too serious to try to handle on your own.

Re: Child custody hearing

Since you're from WI, I have to be careful

giving any advice until I make sure you are

not on the opposing side of litigation with

any of my firm's clients. One thing which

is of public record, though, is that perjury

is a crime, reportable to law enforcement.

It can also be the basis for a civil law-

suit for damages. It would also generally

be a mistake for anyone to allow perjury to

take place and not inform the judge. Send

me a private e-mail or call for more specific

advice.
