48.13 Annotation
A viable fetus is a "person" within the definition of a child under s. 48.02 (2). The court has jurisdiction over the child under circumstances described in this section and a compelling interest in promoting and protecting the potential life of the fetus. Because of that compelling interest, the court may order protective custody of that child even though such custody requires custody of the mother as well and the court may not have jurisdiction over the mother. State ex rel. Angela M.W. v. Kruzicki, 197 W (2d) 532, 541 NW (2d) 482 (Ct. App. 1995).

48.15
48.15
Jurisdiction of other courts to determine legal custody. Nothing contained in
ss. 48.13 and
48.14 deprives other courts of the right to determine the legal custody of children by habeas corpus or to determine the legal custody or guardianship of children if the legal custody or guardianship is incidental to the determination of causes pending in the other courts. But the jurisdiction of the court assigned to exercise jurisdiction under this chapter and
ch. 938 is paramount in all cases involving children alleged to come within the provisions of
ss. 48.13 and
48.14.
