Family Law

In situations that include child custody, payment of expenses, distribution of assets, alimony, time with a child and more, it is vital to seek a temporary court order. This means that a court will schedule a hearing in which both individuals of a relationship will state their argument for any of these situations. A judge will then issue an order that must be upheld until the final trial. This will protect you in case your spouse tries to relocate your children or sell of property or other assets that may be in your name.

No, every situation is treated differently. Most courts will look at several factors before determining who gets custody of a child. Some factors include, 

• The relationship they have with the parents and/or siblings.
• The specific adjustments they would make if they were to live with a certain parent. 
• The household stability between both parents and more. 

• The first thing you would do is to file a petition. The individual who files the petition will be known as the plaintiff or petitioner while the individual who will receive the petition will be known as the respondent. 
• In the state of Wisconsin you will have 90 days to serve your partner with this petition. 
• If your partner wishes to negotiate any terms in the divorce you will to agree on a settlement or have a court resolve any issues. At this time it would be best to contact a family lawyer to discuss your case.
