my husband left the marriage after 6 months. a few months later i met someone and had a baby. the baby is not my husband's who is asking for a divorce. why do i need to get a paternity test if the baby is not his?
answered on Jan 21, 2021
Yes. If a child is born to you while you are legally married to someone else, that child is presumed to be a child of your marriage. The marital presumption would need to be overcome by DNA testing and a paternity case should be filed, naming the biological father as the actual parent.;

If you agree to a change in child support or placement in the future, both of you can sign a Stipulation and Order for Modification and file it with the Court. By doing so, you both can avoid filing Motions and the need to appear at Court.

I would be concerned, as a parent, if your girlfriend does not have placement of her own children and a no contact Order with her ex. I can not say I blame your ex. If you have your children being physically disciplined by your girlfriend and you do not have knowledge as to why she has no... Read more »

There are many factors that a court will use to determine how parties share income or assets while a divorce is pending. Presumptively, all assets are marital and shared until the divorce is final, but the court has the authority to deviate from that on a temporary basis.

No, that is generally a prohibited action. You should consult with an attorney to consider filing a motion for contempt/for relief to stop it.

Often, the witnesses in a CPS investigation are required to be confidential. If the allegations are unsubstantiated, the GAL can disregard the CPS allegations.

If there is no court order prohibiting certain individuals from being around the kids then your ex husband has no say in that. He can file a motion seeking such an order, though.

Yes. Custody is decision making power and does not affect rights to see a child, for example.

Wisconsin is a marital property law state. Even if your name is not on the deed, the home is preemptively 50/50. There are factors that can change that, of course and discussing with an experienced family lawyer makes sense in this situation.

You need to file a contempt motion and seek that the court and force your court orders. An Attorney can certainly be helpful to make sure it is done properly and timely, but you don’t “need“ an attorney.
