Custody is an aspect of parental authority. The person who exercises parental authority over the child has custody over the said child. Parental authority and responsibility may not be renounced or transferred except in the cases authorized by law.
Parental authority refers to parents rights and responsibilities toward their children from the minute they are born until they turn 18. Under their parental authority, parents make decisions that affect their childrens well-being.
Under Wisconsin law, guardianships can be temporary or permanent. Temporary guardianships are only in effect for 60 days. Courts are permitted to make one 60 day extension for good cause. All other guardianships are considered permanent guardianships.
In Wisconsin once paternity has been established, the fathers rights are the same as the mothers parental rights. Under Wisconsin law, the court orders custody and placement based on the best interest of the child. And a close relationship with both parents is often beneficial for the child.
Custody and placement are determined by the agreement of parents or by court order. The court will issue an order following a trial or evidentiary hearing on the matter.
