Publication Summons {FA-4122V}

FA-4122V - PUBLICATION SUMMONS. This form is used in a Wisconsin divorce or legal separation case when the petitioner is unable to serve the respondent through conventional means and instead must serve them by publication. It is filed in the Circuit Court of the county where the case is initiated. The purpose of the form is to officially notify the respondent that a Petition for Divorce or Legal Separation has been filed against them, and that they must respond within 40 days from the day after the first date of publication. The form outlines where the respondent must send their written demand for a copy of the petition—both to the Clerk of Court and to the petitioner. It warns that failure to respond may result in a default judgment against the respondent, which could include monetary awards or other legal relief requested in the petition. If the case involves minor children, the form provides notice about laws relating to child custody interference, the availability of child support guidelines, and access to resources through the Circuit Court Commissioner under Wisconsin Statute §767.105. §§767.215, 801.095 and 801.10, Wisconsin Statutes. www.FormsWorkflow.com
