Governor Signs Bill Putting Interests of Children First in Custody Disputes
Under New Law, Judges Are Allowed to Consider a Record of Domestic Abuse First and Foremost in Joint or Sole Legal Custody Cases; Model, Bipartisan Measure Won Approval Following Jendusa-Nicolai CaseMADISON - At a bill signing ceremony in the Governor’s Conference Room today, Governor Jim Doyle signed legislation that requires judges to consider a record of domestic abuse first and foremost when deciding the legal custody of children, and allows for the denial of joint or sole custody to an abusive parent if placement would put the child at risk."This bill will help keep our kids away from dangerous domestic abusers who might do them harm," Governor Doyle said. "Teri Jendusa-Nicolai’s case demonstrated the need for legislation like this, and I thank the family for joining us here today."The bipartisan legislation won final approval in the Senate within days of a Wind Lake woman’s abduction and near fatal beating. On January 31, Teri Jendusa-Nicolai went to get her daughters at the home of her ex-husband. A day later, she was found beaten, bound, stuffed in a garbage can, sealed and locked in a Wheeling, Ill., storage unit rented by her ex-husband. David M. Larsen, accused of domestic violence in the past, now faces state and federal charges for the abduction and near fatal beating.Teri Jendusa-Nicolai is recovering at a Park Ridge, Ill., hospital, but members of her family attended the bill signing ceremony. The Governor welcomed them and thanked the lead sponsors of Assembly Bill 279, Representatives Terese Berceau and Don Friske and Senators Carol Roessler and Fred Risser.The Governor said the new law puts the interests of children first, undoing a change nearly five years ago in the child custody law. Language tucked in a state budget at the last minute with little notice gave precedence to joint custody and placed the interests of children second.While undoing that, the new legislation incorporates other changes recommended by the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges. In all, the changes place Wisconsin in the first wave of states reforming child custody laws with an eye to preventing domestic violence and child abuse.
Under the new law, a judge can deny joint or sole custody, if there is evidence of domestic abuse. The new law presumes it is against a child’s best interest to award custody to a parent who has committed a serious act of spousal abuse or engaged in a pattern of abuse.A parent can overcome or rebut the presumption by successfully completing a certified program for batterers and convincing the judge that allowing placement or visitation is in the child’s best interest.Among other changes, the new law requires court-appointed guardians and mediators to receive training in domestic violence awareness and, as they handle custody disputes, look for evidence of domestic violence. They are required to report their findings to the court.finally, if a judge decides to place a child with a parent who has a history of domestic violence, the judge must take steps to ensure the safety of the child, as well as the other parent, during exchanges. Supervision by a third party may be necessary.
The incidence of domestic violence cases in Wisconsin exceeds 27,000. At least 9,000 children suffer abuse and neglect in Wisconsin every year.

Rural Isanti man charged in felony malicious
punishment of a child case
A 22-year-old rural Isanti man has been charged
with felony malicious punishment of a child in
connection with the bruising of an 18-month-old
originally said to have fallen in the bath tub.
Steven Richard Rohow was giving the child a bath
May 19 when he said the youngster kept getting
out of the tub. After being confronted at
Cambridge Medical Center about how the child
had sustained the extensive bruising on the legs
and buttocks, Rohow admitted he had lost his
temper and struck the toddler a half dozen times.
Rohow was taken into custody after being
interviewed by an Isanti County investigator.
He appeared before Judge James Dehn Monday,
May 20 where bail was set at $20,000 cash or
bond and he was formally charged with:felony
malicious punishment of a child; two counts of
felony assault in the third degree; misdemeanor
domestic assault in the fifth degree and
misdemeanor assault in the fifth degree.
He is to have no contact with the victim or her
family and is not to go closer than one-quarter
mile from her residence or any daycare site
where she might be located.

President Obama needs to act immediately to this dire situation instead of saying this is not acceptable. Going through the United Nations of Nothing will only slow this process!
