I need to respond to a summons regarding legal custody and physical placement of a child in accordance to chapter 802 of the Wisconsin statutes. It says that the court may reject or disregard an answer that does not follow the requirements of this statute. I do not want to challenge this summons, I just want to respond correctly so they can set a court date for me to present my case concerning my son. Is there a certain form I need or can I just reply with a written answer that says I agree that the information in the summons is correct and I agree that a court order is in need?

Chapter 802 is a description of the process one needs to follow in court proceedings. It describes what you need to do. I suggest you read the chapter, you can find it with a Google search. If you still have specific questions, fee free to ask them.

I have read chapter 802, it is a bit confusing, I need to know if a written response stating I am in agreement that a court order is needed. And by doing this would a court date be set to resolve the case.

If you received a summons then there should already be a court date on it or attatched to it. Are you wanting to disagree with the claim it is making ? If you agree with it then you don't have to respond but you still have to appear.

I don't understand you wanting to confirm a court order is needed?

Califdadof3 thanks for your response, regarding the summons there is no court date on it or attached to it, the summons is asking me to reply according to chapter 802 of the Wisconsin Statutes, what I am asking is what is the correct way to respond to this summons so that it is not disregarded or rejected.
