Child custody family law matters can be contentious — and informal child custody arrangements are not enforceable in Wisconsin courts. To protect the future of your children and secure your rights as a parent, it is critical you contact Tlusty, Kennedy & Glascock, S.C.
Our attorneys will provide you with the best legal strategy to get the custody you are requesting — we understand the challenges mothers and fathers face in the family court system — and offer ongoing support. That support begins during the pending divorce or separation proceedings when initial child placement is temporarily assigned and continues until a final order is received. Be it the initial temporary order, or the final placement order, once a placement order is put in place by a judge or court commissioner, it is difficult to change. Get representation from the beginning to protect your rights.

- Drafting temporary physical placement schedules for the children and securing a court-approved agreement or Temporary Order
