Listen to this articleWI Court of Appeals – District I
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Courtney Wilborn, et al.
Case No.: 2017AP1562
Officials: Kessler, P.J., Brash and Dugan, JJ.
Focus: Court Error – Abuse of Discretion – Paternity Action
Javier Yera appeals the circuit court’s order denying his motion to reopen and join A.M.W.’s paternity action. Yera argues: (1) the circuit court should have granted his motion to intervene brought pursuant to WIS. STAT. § 803.09 (2015-16); (2) the circuit court should have granted his request for permissive joinder under WIS. STAT. § 803.04; (3) the circuit court should have granted him relief from the paternity judgment under WIS. STAT. § 806.07; (4) the circuit court should have granted his motion to reopen the default judgment under WIS. STAT. § 767.893(3); and (5) the circuit court erroneously exercised its discretion in requiring him to pay guardian ad litem fees. We affirm.
