Understanding CHIPS Cases

In Wisconsin, CHIPS cases fall under Chapter 48 of the Wisconsin Statutes, also known as the “Children’s Code.” These cases address various situations, including:

  • Abandonment: Instances where a child is left without proper care or supervision.
  • Abuse or Neglect: Situations where a child has suffered physical, emotional, or sexual harm, or is at substantial risk of such harm.
  • Lack of Necessary Care: Cases where a parent or guardian is unable or unwilling to provide essential care, such as medical treatment or adequate supervision.

The primary goal of CHIPS proceedings is to ensure the safety and well-being of the child while providing necessary services to support and reunify families whenever possible.
