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.

Very easy process, just answered questions and was taken to where you needed to go. Took the hassle out of trying to figure out what to do since we are not planning on using representation. Would definitely recommend!

I found this process to be very easy and inexpensive. Because my husband is refusing to help with any of this including the financial piece this was something I could afford on my own. Also I could fill out the entire questionnaire without needing to contact him.

Very easy to use. I recommend this to anybody. If your divorce is "not" messy like mine. This is the best way to do it. I am not going to make a car payment (Porsche, Mercedes or BMW) for any Divorce Attorney any time soon...

The best decision for filing, I only needed the paperwork and to have them filed, I was quoted 4,800 just for that by a private Law firm! I paid nothing close to that with this service!!
