Family law

1. You can petition for visitation rights to your grandchildren under Wisconsin's so called "grandparents visitation" statute. Your schedule for visitation would be independent of your son's right to placement of the children. 2. On the second issue, you don't offer any facts or evidence to indicate what the mother's case is built around. Just because "she wants FULL custody," doesn't mean she gets full custody. The laws in Wisconsin are pretty strict when it comes to petitioning to modify placement or custody post judgment. She must prove that there has been a substantial change in circumstances and must overcome the legal presumption that things should be left as is. You indicate they were divorced for a couple of years, but it is important to know exactly when they were divorced, as there is also a law that withiin the first two years from the divorce, neither party can petition the court to modify custody or placement, unless there is a showing that the children are in imminent harm.
