The Wisconsin Affidavit to Show Cause and Request or Hearing for Temporary Order with Minor Children is a legal document used in the state of Wisconsin when a parent or guardian wishes to request a temporary court order concerning the care and custody of minor children. This document is used to inform the court of the circumstances leading to the need for a temporary order and to formally request a hearing. The affidavit may also be referred to as a Wis. Stats. 767.24 affidavit, as this is the Wisconsin statute that governs the process. There are two types of Wisconsin Affidavit to Show Cause and Request or Hearing for Temporary Order with Minor Children. The first is the Affidavit for Temporary Legal Custody or Placement, which is used when a parent or guardian wishes to establish temporary legal custody of a minor child as part of a larger family court matter.
