: How much can a mother keep a child from his/her father despite a joint custody order in Wisconsin?
How much can a mother keep a child from his/her father despite a joint custody order in Wisconsin. The father is a good man that has values and is a good father. There’s no legitmate reason for the mothers actions. It appears to only be out of spite. She has a proven history of drug abuse and neglect. The mother collects disability. The father (non drink/non smoker) has always worked to make a good living. What gives?

Perhaps only as long as he goes without challenging her in a legal process. Take an action and request the Court to remedy the situation immediately and set forth her responsibility to pay for the fees, including your attorney. If you have no funds, go to your local legal aid society and ask for their help as a father with Court ordered visitation. Wisconsin has some law requiring the custodial parent to have a Court produced placement order when the parents have Court ordered legal joint custody. Go to Court and demand your rights….and enforce the rights of your child to know its father.

In my husband and I experience, whatever the mother says goes no matter how hard the father tries! My husband finally won his case but it took 8 months in court!

good luck

sounds that the mother is doing this out of spite from the father…i hope the mother knows she is just hurting her self when she keeps a child from her father…bc the child will grow up to resent the mother for doing this.

In the US you have no rights as a father, besides paying that is. Should’ve thought about this before impregnating someone.
