Q: My biological father and his wife are trying to get grandparent visitation orders from the court for minor child.

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.

A mediated agreement is not an Order of the Court until you have signed a Stipulation and it has been filed with the Court. Because of new grandparent visitation case law, grandparent visitation is not an automatic right. This is why you should consult with an experienced family law attorney.

Federal law requires that you be paid for all hours you actually work, including most training hours. Regardless of whether you signed this agreement, you must be paid for your training time. The 14-day notice requirement before submitting a resignation is permissible.

You may have committed fraud. It might be prudent to sign the title over to the purchaser. At least hire a WI attorney to review the situation and explain your risks, both criminal and civil.
