Wisconsin Temporary Physical Custody Request (Chapter 48) — Indian Child Welfare Act is a legal document that is used in the state of Wisconsin to request temporary physical custody of an Indian child. This document is used when a tribe or parent of an Indian child wishes to take physical custody of the child, but is unable to do so due to legal reasons. The document is used to provide temporary physical custody to the parent or tribe, and is usually done for a period of six months. The document must be signed by a court or tribal court, and the Indian child must be in the physical presence of the parent or tribe at the time of signing. There are two types of Wisconsin Temporary Physical Custody Requests (Chapter 48) — Indian Child Welfare Act: 1) Voluntary Temporary Physical Custody Request and 2) Court-Ordered Temporary Physical Custody Request. The Voluntary Temporary Physical Custody Request is used when a parent or tribe voluntarily agrees to take physical custody of the child, while the Court-Ordered Temporary Physical Custody Request is used when a court orders the parent or tribe to take physical custody of the child.
