Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Wisconsin

Although I do not know of any lawyer who would be able to help you free of charge, everyone always has the right to sue on their own behalf in most American courts without an attorney. This is known as pro se litigation. The right to sue, however, does not mean that you will win, or that you won't be penalized by the courts for bringing frivolous litigation if the case turns out not to have merit and was arguably brought in bad faith or file out of a desire to harass the opposing party. I would therefore ask you this: assuming that you have not been successful in convincing the authorities to act upon this matter despite two years of effort, what makes you think that the outcome in a new court case will be any different? At best, the judge would possibly refer the matters to the local Human Services authorities for further investigation. Odds are, this investigation would probably be redone by the same folks who you have failed to convince in the past. You therefore might instead need to ask why you keep failing, and to likewise confront the possibility that you, rather than the allegedly falsely imprisoned mother, might be the one who has the problem.
