That's a great question. If there's already a custody order from a Chicago court, you will have to file to change venue to Wisconsin (in the Chicago Court). For that, you will need an Illinois attorney. Then, once the case is removed to Wisconsin, you will need to hire a Wisconsin attorney to represent you in the removed action (to establish custodial, support, and placement rights). Best of luck!
