Not without the consent of the non-custodial parent ! The other parent has a right to know who their child has been left with (and perhaps would take the child themselves as a better guardian).


When can a child care worker refuse to allow parent take child?

Presumably, the custodial parent is the parent who has arranged for the child care and is the person who normally delivers the child and picks the child up after work. The child care worker can refuse to allow a parent to take a child if the custodial parent has provided a copy of a court order showing that the custodial parent has legal and physical custody. No unauthorized person should be allowed to take a child from day care.

Is it legal in Wisconsin for a divorced mother to make a doctor appointment but for the other parent to not take a child to a doctors appointment?

It is not illegal to miss a doctors appointment. However if the child was under 16 and needed to see a doctor urgently (i.e for an chest infection or something that requires immediate treatment, as opposed to something like acne or ingrowing toenail's), there would probably be some sort of parenting offense involved by not taking the child to the doctor (unless it was just forgetfulness that meant the appointment was missed). If the child is over 16, it's no longer the parent's responsibility to take the child to doctors' appointments (unless the child is not mentally capable of looking after themselves). If the appointment was to discuss referral to another specialist, or some non-life threatening condition (i.e a non-urgent appointment), it is not "illegal" to not take the child, but it is not helpful either. Obviously if the appointment was booked knowing that the child would be with the other parent, the other parent should have been told as soon as possible about the appointment to check they were available to take the child (and if not, rearrange for a convenient time). And you should always notify your doctors surgery if you are going to miss your appointment.


If one parent has full custody of a child and that parent dies will the living parent get the child?

Yes, unless the living parent has a court order not allowing them to be with the child in that case the child would go to the next relative that is willing to take the child. The surviving parent will still have to go to court to have the custody awarded to him/her. After all, the court felt there was a good reason that the full custody award was rendered in the first place.
