WI Court of Appeals – District I
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. M.A., et al.,
Case No.: 2019AP1089
Officials: DUGAN, J.
Focus: CHIPS – Jurisdiction
The State of Wisconsin appeals from the trial court’s order granting relief on M.A’s petition alleging that J.A., her son, was a child in need of protection or services (CHIPS). The State argues that the trial court erred by (1) finding that M.A.’s petition was sufficient, (2) denying the State’s motion for summary judgment, (3) finding that it had jurisdiction over the petition, (4) denying the State’s motion to dismiss, and (5) issuing the dispositional order. This court is not persuaded by the State’s arguments and, therefore, we affirm the trial court’s order.
