Child Custody

In general, there are two types of child custody - physical and legal custody. Physical custody refers to the child's placement, meaning, it determines with whom the child lives full-time and who is responsible for the everyday care of the child. Legal custody is concerned with the parent's right to make major life decisions related to the child's education, moving, religious upbringing, medical treatment, and so on.

Both of these types of custody arrangements may be either sole or joint (shared between the parents). Wisconsin Law typically welcomes joint custody unless it is proven that close contact with both parents is not in the child's best interest or if both parents agree on sole custody.

Our smooth breakup allowed us to file for uncontested divorce and we just decided to arrange it as simply as possible. Online divorce seemed to be a good idea, and now I'm sure we did it right. All the papers were prepared with no issues and I'm pleased with the price. Thanks.

I think that all the papers related to a certain county with its own legal nuances would be prepared correctly only by a Wisconsin-based company. So that's why I used wisconsinonlinedivorce and I was really satisfied. My divorce papers were completed in a timely manner and I had no troubles with filing. That was a really smooth process and you can be confident with your filing.

It always seemed to me that divorce must be a much more complicated process. I couldn't imagine how I would cope with that. Where do I get all those papers, how to fill them out and where to go and what to do? So, I was really glad I found wisconsinonlinedivorce.com and they took care of all the paperwork and gave me clear instructions on how to file with the court. That made the whole process so much easier!
