Legal Question in Family Law in Wisconsin
What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Wisconsin
My daughter needs to know if her ex-boyfriend, who has 4 Operating a Vehicle While Intoxicated charges, had a domestic abuse filed against him 4 years ago, is an alcoholic, is not supposed to be drinking, but my daughter said he still is, could get half custody of their 3 year old daughter?
She wants physical custody of her, and for her ex supervised visitation. Do you think this is possible?
1 Answer from Attorneys
There is no term physical custody in Wisconsin it is call Placement.
Primary placement is always a option, she would ask for it and then make a case for it.
Supervised is more often granted with sex offenders or other cases where the parent has mental defects. So, I would say probably not likely, but you can always ask.
Custody is for decision making. The state presumes Joint unless a case is made regarding domestic abuse. Then it is still ordered with limitations.
You will probably need a good attorney to have a chance of getting what you want.
