• What Should I Do After My Child Is Bitten By A Dog In Wisconsin?

• Restraining orders were not granted, should I send my child back to his father's where he was abused?

  Asked in Waupaca, WI | February 17, 2026

  The abuse happened in December 2025, and the Child Advocacy report deemed it child abuse. I filed restraining orders for my child's father, hisfiancée, and her ex-boyfriend, who live in the same household. CPS is aware of this incident and has an open file. Also, the DA's office is investigating the ex-boyfriend for child abuse from this incident, and I have pictures that were submitted to the judge as well. I filed restraining orders. My son is 2 years old, and I fear for his safety. The restraining orders were not granted as the judge stated, "Not enough evidence." I still fear for my child's safety to go back to his father's. Do I have the right to withhold my son from going back to his father?

• can I file a chapter 128 without using my husband's income, and do I have to use a lawyer?

  Asked in Delavan, WI | December 1, 2025

  I received a notice of hearing for "adjourned return date". I received no paperwork or anything for this case, no one informed me of the filing, I have no information about what this case is, or what it all means for me. There isn't even a contact number for the plaintiff. I looked online and there is a chapter 128 in wisconsin that I could file, but does that mean they will take the payments out of my husband's wages? I receive Social Security disability and long term disability payments monthly. It looks like they won't take it out of those wages. Can I file the chapter 128 without including my husband, and can I do it without a lawyer?
