Legal Question in Family Law in Wisconsin

Re: child abandonment

Are you talking about the criminal charge of

abandonment? That charge is being used more and more

frequently by prosecutors in egregious cases

of failing to pay child support. It is potentially

a felony, carrying the possibility of prison

time. If someone in the child support agency

was using this term during a conversation with

you, legal representation immediately is a must.

Re: child abandonment

I forgot to mention in my last response that there

is also civil abandonment, which is a term generally

used in custody related proceedings or CHIPS (child in need

of protection or services) juvenile court proceedings.

I obviously need to know more about your scenario

before I can attempt to answer your question.

Re: child abandonment

This is information and not advice.

Sorry question is too broad. Do you want a criminal action, civil action, adoption, termination of parental rights? Is this a paternity, divorce? Too many questions. Suggest you contact a lawyer concentrating in that area. Good one for those issues is Craig Miller at 414-332-5020. Good luck. Again, this is information and not advice.
