Temporary Physical Custody Request {JC-1608}

JC-1608 - TEMPORARY PHYSICAL CUSTODY REQUEST AND SUPPLEMENT (CHAPTER 48). This form is used in the Wisconsin Circuit Court to document and justify the removal of a child or expectant mother from their home under emergency circumstances. This form is typically completed by a child welfare agency or law enforcement and outlines the reasons for taking a child or expectant mother into custody, the legal authority under Wisconsin Statutes Chapter 48, and the specific danger or risk of harm prompting the action. It includes detailed information about the child’s or expectant mother’s background, the parents or guardians, tribal affiliation if applicable, and the conditions or incidents leading to the custody decision. The form also records whether proper legal notifications and rights advisements have been given, identifies the placement location and type (e.g., foster care, shelter, treatment facility), and outlines any efforts made to prevent the removal and maintain the child or expectant mother safely in the home. It includes supplemental assessments regarding threats to safety, the child’s vulnerabilities, the inadequacy of parental protective capacities, and the rationale for why an in-home safety plan would not be effective. If the child is believed to be an Indian child, the form ensures compliance with the Wisconsin Indian Child Welfare Act (WICWA), documenting tribe notifications and placement preferences.
