A Wisconsin Notice of Appeal (in TPR Matters) is a document that is filed with the Wisconsin Court of Appeals to appeal the decision of a trial court in a termination of parental rights (TPR) case. It is used to notify the court of the appellant's intention to challenge a lower court's decision and to provide a brief description of the issues that the appellant believes the court should address. This notice must be filed with the court within 20 days of the lower court's decision. The two types of Wisconsin Notice of Appeal (in TPR Matters) are a Notice of Appeal for the Appellant and a Notice of Appeal for the Respondent. The Notice of Appeal for the Appellant is used by the parent or guardian who wishes to challenge the trial court's decision to terminate their parental rights. The Notice of Appeal for the Respondent is used by the other party in the case, such as the county or state, to file an appeal against the decision of the trial court.
