WISCONSIN Part 26

Note: The judge may not give sole legal custody to a parent who refuses to cooperate with the other parent if the court finds that the refusal to cooperate is unreasonable.**

At least one of the child’s parents is entitled to custody, unless there is clear and convincing evidence that both parents are unfit. If the court finds that neither parent is able to care for the child adequately, the court may decide that the child is in need of protection or services and transfer legal custody of the child to a relative of the child, to a county department, to a licensed child welfare agency, or the department of children and families.***
