The Petition, which is attached, states the nature and basis of the legal action. Within 20 days of receiving this Summons, you must respond with a written response, as that term is used in chapter 802, of the Wisconsin Statutes, to the Petition. The court may reject or disregard a response that does not follow the requirements of the statutes. The response must be sent or delivered to the following offices: Clerk of Courts 215 S Hamilton St. Madison, WI 53703 and to: Annabelle Vang, the Petitioner’s attorney, whose address is: Kowalski, Wilson and Vang, LLC 725 Heartland Trail, Suite 100 Madison, WI 53717 (608) 709-5000 annabelle@kwvfamilylaw.com It is recommended, but not required, that you have an attorney help or represent you. If you do not provide a proper response within 20 days, the court may grant judgment against you, and you may lose your right to object to anything that is or may be incorrect in the Petition. A judgment may be enforced as provided by law. A judgment may become a lien against any real estate you own now or in the future and may also be enforced by garnishment or seizure of property. You are notified of the availability of information set forth in sec. 767.105, of the Wisconsin Statutes, from the Family Court Commissioner, which provides as follows: 767.105 Information from Family Court Commissioner. (2) Upon the request of a party to an action affecting the family, including a revision of judgment or order under sec. 767.59 or 767.451: (a) The Family Court Commissioner shall, with or without charge, provide the party with written information on the following, as appropriate to the action commenced: 1. The procedure for obtaining a judgment or order in the action. 2. The major issues usually addressed in such an action. 3. Community resources and family court counseling services available to assist the parties. 4. The procedure for setting, modifying and enforcing child support awards or modifying and enforcing legal custody or physical placement judgments or orders. (b) The Family Court Commissioner shall provide a party, for inspection or purchase, with a copy of the statutory provisions in this chapter generally pertinent to the action. You are notified that if the parties to the action have minor children, violation of the following criminal statute is punishable by fines and/or imprisonment as set forth in sec. 948.31, Wis. Stats. 948.31 Interference with custody by parent or others. (1)(a) In this subsection, “legal custodian of a child” means: 1. A parent or other person having legal custody of the child under an order or judgment in an action for divorce, legal separation, annulment, child custody, paternity, guardianship, or habeas corpus. 2. The department of health and social services or the department of corrections or any person, county department under sec. 46.215, 46.22 or 46.23 or licensed child welfare agency, if custody of the child has been transferred under ch. 48 or 138 to that department, person or agency. (b) Except as provided under ch. 48 and 938, whoever intentionally causes a child to leave, takes a child away or withholds a child for more than 12 hours beyond the court-approved period of physical placement or visitation period from a legal custodian with intent to deprive the custodian of his or her custody rights without the consent of the custodian is guilty of Class F felony. This paragraph is not applicable if the court has entered an order authorizing the person to so take or withhold the child. The fact that joint legal custody has been awarded to both parents by a court does not preclude a court from finding that one parent has committed a violation of this paragraph. (2) Whoever causes a child to leave, takes a child away or withholds a child for more than 12 hours from the child’s parents or, in the case of non-marital child whose parents do not subsequently intermarry under sec. 767.803, from the child’s mother or, if he has been granted legal custody, the child’s father, without the consent of the parents, the mother or the father with legal custody, is guilty of Class I felony. This subsection is not applicable if legal custody has been granted by court order to the person taking or withholding the child. (3) Any parent, or any person acting pursuant to directions from the parent, who does any of the following is guilty of a Class F felony: (a) Intentionally conceals a child from the child’s other parent. (b) After being served with process in an action affecting the family but prior to the issuance of a temporary or final order determining child custody rights, takes the child or causes the child to leave with intent to deprive the other parent of physical custody as defined in s. 822.02(9). (c) After issuance of a temporary or final order specifying joint legal custody rights and periods of physical placement, takes a child from or causes a child to leave the other parent in violation of the order or withholds a child for more than 12 hours beyond the court-approved period of physical placement or visitation period. (4) (a) It is an affirmative defense to prosecution for violation of this section if the action: 1. Is taken by a parent or by a person authorized by a parent to protect his or her child in a situation in which the parent or authorized by a parent to protect his or her child in a situation in which the parent or authorized person reasonably believes that there is a threat of physical harm or sexual assault to the child; 2. Is taken by a parent fleeing in a situation in which the parent reasonably believes that there is a threat of physical harm or sexual assault to himself or herself; 3. Is consented to by the other parent or any other person or agency having legal custody of the child; or 4. Is otherwise authorized by law. (b) A defendant who raises an affirmative defense has the burden of proving the defense by a preponderance of the evidence. (5) The venue of an action under this section is prescribed in s. 971.19(8). (6) In addition to any other penalties provided for violation of this section, a court may order a violator to pay restitution, regardless of whether the violator is placed on probation under s. 973.09, to provide reimbursement for any reasonable expenses incurred by any person or any governmental entity in locating and returning the child. Any such amounts paid by the violator shall be paid to the person or governmental entity which incurred the expense on a prorated basis.
