Legal Question in Family Law in Wisconsin
Household smokes cigarretts
My daughter's father has primary placement. Both he and his mother smoke alot. Her health is suffering because of this. Is there anything I can do?
He has primary placement because I worked and he didn't.

I'm only licensed in Tennessee, and not in your state, but generally speaking you must establish that a child is being abused or neglected and that leaving the child with the parent poses a substantial risk of substantial harm before you can get a court to interfere in the way natural parents are raising a child.
For more information on the criteria considered in child custody, and for the consideration of smoking as a factor, take a lokk at my website at

and to specifically look at the use of smoking as a factor, look at the link at http://www2.pair.com/cba/jesbeard/6c.htm
