Wisconsin Temporary Physical Custody Request (Chapter 938) is a legal process that allows a non-custodial parent to obtain temporary physical custody of their minor child. This process is available in Wisconsin to both married and unmarried parents and is initiated by filing a petition with the court. Depending on the county, the petition may also need to be served on the other parent or legal guardian. There are two types of Wisconsin Temporary Physical Custody Requests (Chapter 938): temporary sole physical custody and temporary joint physical custody. With a temporary sole physical custody request, one parent is granted exclusive physical custody of the child. With a temporary joint physical custody request, both parents are granted shared physical custody of the child. The court will consider several factors when deciding whether to grant a temporary physical custody request, including the child's best interests, the parents' ability to cooperate, the parents' living arrangements, and the parents' ability to provide a safe and secure environment for the child. If the court grants the request, it will issue an order granting temporary physical custody. The order will specify the duration of the custody arrangement, the terms of the arrangement, and the rights and responsibilities of each parent. The order may also include a provision for supervised visitation if the court deems it appropriate.
