7 Wisconsin Custody Mistakes That Ruin Your Case - #75
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Most parents think custody problems start with a major violation. What actually sends people back to court is a pattern of small decisions that seemed reasonable at the time — until they weren't.
Senior associate attorney Jodi Chung of Sterling Lawyers walks through the co-parenting mistakes she sees most often in Wisconsin custody cases and what those mistakes actually cost parents in court.
In this episode, you'll learn about:
- Why casually adjusting the placement schedule creates legal exposure over time
- How making major decisions alone — even with good intentions — can be treated as a custody violation
- What using a child as a messenger or choosing sides does to your position with a judge
- Why emotional communication makes high-conflict co-parenting worse and what to use instead
- How withholding placement or support as leverage tends to backfire under Wisconsin law
- What Wisconsin courts are specifically evaluating when co-parenting breaks down
- When to stop waiting for things to improve and take action before the situation escalates
Listen in to discover which co-parenting habits put your custody arrangement at risk so you can protect your relationship with your child instead of handing the other side ammunition for court.
