If you have children with your spouse and you get divorced, you will remain co-parents forever. It is important to be aware that how you co-parent and treat each other will have a lasting effect on your children, and it is up to you and your ex-spouse to make sure that effect is a positive one.

Billy Flynn Gadbois is reminding parents that just because you're divorced, that doesn't mean you can stop being kind to one another.

This is an important recent ruling regarding domestic violence and child custody in Wisconsin. "Under Wis. Stat. section 767.41(2)(d), there’s a presumption that joint or sole legal custody is not in the best interest of the child if the court finds that a one party has engaged in a pattern or serious incident of interspousal battery or domestic abuse." However, the court of appeals agreed with the circuit court that "the statute permits but does not mandate courts to consider domestic abuse." What this ruling meant in this particular case is that at the final divorce hearing, the wife agreed to joint custody of the parties' minor children, notwithstanding the domestic abuse she endured from her husband during her marriage. When she sought to have her divorce reopened based on the domestic abuse that occurred during her marriage (not based on new acts of domestic abuse), the court held that she had already considered the marital domestic abuse when making the decision to agree to joint custody, therefore, she could not come back now and try to get sole custody after she waived the presumption of sole legal custody on those specific acts of domestic violence that occurred during the marriage.

July 13, 2015 – A state appeals court has ruled that a spouse waived her right to invoke a presumption restricting child custody based on domestic abuse when she stipulated to joint custody of minor children in the original divorce proceedings with her husband.
