Legal Question in Family Law in Wisconsin
Denial of Visitation Rights
My husband has two children (ages 5 and 7) from a previous marriage. My husband moved out of the state for an employment opportunity for one year and continued communication with his children. His ex-wife said that she did not mind him moving, but as time progressed she made less and less contact with him. He has since moved back to the state where the divorce has taken place and where the children live and his ex-wife is denying visitation rights. The divorce papers explicitly state that he has these rights. He has paid child support, but has since terminated payments because of her denying him to see his children. There were no outstanding circumstances such as abuse, neglect, etc. She has since remarried and her new husband says that ''he is their father now.'' My husband wants to see his children, but does not have the full resources to pay extroadinary attorney's fees. Is there a way to seek visitation rights without paying extremely high attorney fees? Is it possible to go directly to the District Attorney from the County? And is it lawful for her to go after him for more child support?

Re: Denial of Visitation Rights
This is information and not advice.
Your county courthouse should have free contempt forms. It is ALWAYS advised to have a lawyer, but you have a constitutional right to proceed pro se. Also check with your local bar association for referrals.
Child support is ALWAYS modifiable when the children are minors.
