Will I lose my son?

Asked on Oct 23rd, 2015 on Child Custody - Wisconsin
More details to this question:
I have been separated from my significant other since the beginning of May. At first things were going fine, but then he started withholding my 7 year old son from me. He has let me see him a few times but just withholds him. He changed his telephone number and blocked me on facebook. I don't know what he is telling my son. I went to his sisters where he is staying to tell him ill be picking up our son from school and he called the police on me. I don't know what to do. He has threatened me I have a few texts...Im scared of what he will do if I try to take my son. I just am at the end...I don't know what to do...I believe he is just doing this to have control. Can you help,

If the two of you are not married, and this is a paternity case, and paternity hasn't been established, the mother has legal custody of the child under Wisconsin law and the father has no rights to the child whatsoever, in the absence of filing a motion with the court to first establish paternity, and than, requesting a "terms hearing" for the court to order their custody and placement rights to the child.  You should contact the police if your ex boyfriend is keeping the child from you, unless you have been to court and there are established court orders as to which parent has custody of the sild.
