Legal Question in Family Law in Wisconsin

I am representing myself in a paternity (no marriage) child-custody case, where there had been previously documented domestic abuse, in addition to a recent onslaught of psychological, verbal and emotional abusive alienation from the father of my daughter towards my daughter. The guardian ad litem has taken a biased approach, choosing to be blind to both the domestic abuse and the parental alienation. I wonder how I ought to bring forth her bias in the courtroom. Further, I will be testifying on my own behalf, and I am wondering if it is better to have my own testimony be first or last. I will be direct examining as witnesses the father of our daughter, and two other individuals who have personal experience with the father's anger and abuse.

I do not really see a question here. More of a statement.

Custody is affected by abuse claims. But the court tends to work around that.

Placement is never affected by these claims, and will make you look bad in court.

You have to focus on the relationship between the parents and the child and make a case for the best interest of the child.

Attaching the GAL will not make a good case.
