WISCONSIN Part 42

How do I change an existing order?

Either parent can request a change in a custody or placement order if there is a substantial change in circumstances and if the change to the custody order would be in the children's best interests. If you are requesting a change of the order within two years of when the order was issued, the court will not order a change unless you can prove that the current conditions in the order are physically or emotionally harmful to the child.*
