At mediation I said every other Saturday but I haven’t signed the papers yet. Can I not sign them and just go to court? Also I need a lawyer and I have to write an answer to chapter 802 Wisconsin statute. Don’t know how.

answered on Jun 13, 2022
In a written answer to the grandparent visitation, you need to respond in writing and admit or deny each allegation contained in the petition. You can then request dismissal of the action.

Mom still gets foodshare and received child tax credits, but when I filed him on my taxes this year she started threatening me but he still is here and goes to school from here.

You can file a petition for guardianship since she has left the child in your care for such a long time. She would have a right to visit with the child, but she would also have an obligation for payment of support.

It is not a matter of simply signing over one's rights. You and your fiance will need to first be married prior to his ability to adopt. Then, there would be a need for both of you to cooperate with a custody study with an adoption agency. Once that is completed, you would need to file a... Read more »
