The easiest way to do so is to appear before the court at a hearing and acknowledge consent to termination in person. A judge will likely question the consenting parent to make sure that they fully understand the ramifications of voluntary termination and are consenting in an informed manner.
Wisconsin Statute 948.31 defines interference with custody, either by a parent or a third party: ?Whoever causes a child to leave, takes away or withholds a child for more than 12 hours from the child's parent(s) is guilty of a Class I felony.?
948.20 Abandonment of a child. Whoever, with intent to abandon the child, leaves any child in a place where the child may suffer because of neglect is guilty of a Class G felony.
The child has been left by the parent with any person, the parent knows or could discover the whereabouts of the child and the parent has failed to visit or communicate with the child for a period of 6 months or longer.
The legal definition of an unfit parent is when the parent through their conduct fails to provide proper guidance, care, or support. Also, if there is abuse, neglect, or substance abuse issues, that parent will be deemed unfit.
Examples of Unfit Parenting Child abandonment. Alcoholism. Drug addiction. Mental Disturbance. Criminal History. Refusing to assume responsibility for the care of a child.
Under Wisconsin law, there are several valid grounds for involuntary termination of another parent's rights. These include abandonment, parental disability, failure to assume parental responsibilities or child abuse.
In Wisconsin, the assumption is that both parents will have custody and placement of the child. The only way that custody and placement is not split 50/50 is if you can prove that doing so would not be in the best interest of the child.
