Wisconsin Temporary Physical Custody Request (Chapter 48) is a legal process used to determine physical custody of a minor child when two parents or guardians disagree on the child's care. This process is initiated when either parent or guardian files a Petition for Temporary Physical Custody with the court. The petition must include information about the child's current living situation, the reasons for temporary physical custody, and any concerns about the child's safety or well-being. The court may grant a Temporary Physical Custody Order, which allows one parent or guardian to have temporary physical custody of a minor child. The court may also order supervised visitation for the other parent or guardian and may require counseling and mediation to resolve the dispute. The two types of Wisconsin Temporary Physical Custody Requests (Chapter 48) are: 1. Petition for Temporary Physical Custody: A petition filed by either parent or guardian in order to request Temporary Physical Custody of a minor child. 2. Temporary Physical Custody Order: An order issued by a court granting one parent or guardian temporary physical custody of a minor child. This order may also include supervised visitation for the other parent or guardian and may require counseling and mediation to resolve the dispute.
