Clients don’t always welcome the recommendation to not drink when it affects placement, but zero tolerance is the only solution.

Wisconsin Supreme Court expands the law of grandparent visitation, perhaps at the expense of children.

While the law needs to be aware of the right of parents to raise their children, the trump card should be to protect children, not the rights of any adults.

Article suggests that children fare better when they spend time living with both of their parents.
The central point is not the particular schedule, but the level of conflict between the parents.

In its interpretation of Wisconsin’s removal law in Shulka v. Sikraji , the Wisconsin Court of Appeals made the right decision.

Two questions regarding removal were addressed by the District 2 Court of Appeals in Shulka v. Sikraji. It’s a handy case for family-law attorneys with cases where a client wants to move, but would forgo it if it means losing primary placement.

The legal system should be less concerned with equalizing placement time and more concerned with plans to deal with the ongoing issues of raising children.

The concept, of course, is so simple that one wonders why it is not universally followed by parents.

There is a common myth that kids want their parents to stay together or get back together. In reality, what kids want, more than anything else, is peace.

Joint legal custody is a nice term with no practical meaning.
