Wisconsin Petition for Protection or Services (Chapter 938) — Indian Child Welfare Act is a legal document that allows a Native American individual or Tribe to petition the court for protective services or services that will benefit a Native American child. The petition must include a statement of facts and a request for relief. The petition must also be filed in the county where the child resides. The petition can be filed on behalf of the child, the parent or guardian of the child, or an Indian Tribe. There are two types of Wisconsin Petition for Protection or Services: Protective Services Petitions and Service Petitions. Protective Services Petitions are used when the court finds that a child is a victim of abuse, neglect, or abandonment, and needs protection from harm. Service Petitions are used when a child needs services, such as mental health or substance abuse treatment, to help improve the child's situation. The court may also require certain services for the child or family, such as parenting classes or substance abuse counseling, as part of the protective services or service petition. The court will also determine the best interests of the child when determining the appropriate relief to be granted.
