Justice Michael Gableman on Family/Child Issues
From Judgepedia
Judge Gableman was REVERSED by the District III Court of Appeals, in a case where he sentenced a child's mother to 30 days in prison for denying agreed-upon visitation rights to the child's grandmother. The Court of Appeals held that Judge Gableman was in error because he did not allow the mother an opportunity to correct the problem prior to sentencing her.
Judge Gableman was REVERSED by the District III Court of Appeals, in a case where he failed to hold a hearing on whether a Mother's parental rights should be terminated within the time period prescribed by law. This failure resulted in the "child's future remain[ing] uncertain," and the mother retaining parentage rights, even though the Court found the mother to be an unfit parent. The Appeals Court concluded that Judge Gableman failed to hold the hearing within the 45 days from the outset of the case that Wisconsin law clearly required.
