SB464,261 24Section 261 . 767.813 (5g) of the statutes is amended to read:
SB464,115,2
1767.813 (5g) Notice. The notice to parties shall be attached to the summons.
2The notice shall be in boldface type and in substantially the following form:
SB464,115,33 NOTICE TO PARTIES
SB464,115,114 1. You are a party to a petition for paternity parentage. A judgment of paternity
5parentage legally designates the child in the case to be a child of the man person
6found to be the father parent. It creates a legally recognized parent-child
7relationship between the man person and the child. It creates the right of
8inheritance for the child, and obligates the man person to support the child until the
9child reaches the age of 18, or the age of 19 if the child is enrolled full-time in high
10school or its equivalent. The failure by either parent to pay court-ordered support
11is punishable by imprisonment as a contempt of court or as a criminal violation.
SB464,115,1912 2. A party to a paternity parentage case has the right to be represented by an
13attorney. If you are unable to afford an attorney and you are a man person who is
14named as the possible father alleged parent of a child in a paternity parentage case,
15the court will appoint an attorney for you only if the results of one or more genetic
16tests show that you are not excluded as the father parent and that the statistical
17probability of your being the father parent is less than 99.0 percent. In order to
18determine whether you are entitled to have an attorney appointed for you, you may
19call the following telephone number .... .
SB464,115,2520 3. The petitioner in this case has the burden of proving by a clear and
21satisfactory preponderance of the evidence whether the man person named as the
22possible father alleged parent is the father parent. However, if genetic tests show
23that the man person named is not excluded as the father parent, and show that the
24statistical probability that the man person is the father parent is 99.0 percent or
25higher, that man person is rebuttably presumed to be the father parent.
SB464,116,5
14. You may request genetic tests which will indicate the probability that the
2man person named as the possible father alleged parent is or is not the father parent
3of the child. The court will order genetic tests on a request by you, the state, or any
4other party. Any person who refuses to take court-ordered genetic tests may be
5punished for contempt of court.
SB464,116,66 5. The following defenses are available in a paternity parentage case:
SB464,116,87 (a) The man person named as a possible father an alleged parent of the child
8may claim that he the person was sterile or impotent at the time of conception.
SB464,116,129 (b) The mother may claim that she, or the man named as a possible father
10parent or the alleged parent may claim that he, the parent and alleged parent did
11not have sexual intercourse with the each other party during the conceptive period
12(generally the period 8 to 10 months before the birth of the child).
SB464,116,1513 (c) The mother or the man named as a possible father parent or alleged parent
14may claim that another man person had sexual intercourse with the mother parent
15during the conceptive period.
SB464,116,1716 6. You have the right to request a jury trial on the issue of whether the named
17man alleged parent is the father parent.
SB464,116,2018 7. If you fail to appear at any stage of the proceeding, including a scheduled
19court-ordered genetic test, the court may enter a default judgment finding the man
20claimed to be the father
named alleged parent as the father parent.
SB464,116,2221 8. You must keep the clerk of court and child support agency informed of your
22current address at all times.
SB464,262 23Section 262 . 767.815 (2) (a) and (b) of the statutes are amended to read:
SB464,117,224 767.815 (2) (a) There are reasonable grounds to believe that before the time for
25service under s. 801.02 (1) or sub. (1) expired the respondent knew that the mother

1was pregnant
about the pregnancy and that the respondent may be the father
2parent.
SB464,117,43 (b) Due diligence was exercised in attempting to serve the respondent, before
4he the respondent was actually served.

7paternity parentage under s. 891.41 (1) or if paternity parentage is conclusively
8determined from genetic test results under s. 767.804 (1) or acknowledged under s.
9767.805 (1), the mother parent who gave birth shall have sole legal custody of the
10child until the court orders otherwise.
SB464,117,14 11(4) Discovery. Discovery shall be conducted as provided in ch. 804, except that

14birth
occurring at any time other than the probable time of conception.

SB464,117,2316 767.83 (1) Generally. At the pretrial hearing, at the trial, and in any other
17proceedings in any paternity parentage action, any party may be represented by
18counsel. If the male alleged parent respondent is indigent and the state is the
19petitioner under s. 767.80 (1) (g), the petitioner is represented by a government
20attorney as provided in s. 767.80 (6), or the action is commenced on behalf of the child
21by an attorney appointed under s. 767.407 (1) (c), counsel shall be appointed for the
22respondent as provided in ch. 977, subject to the limitations under sub. (2m), unless
23the respondent knowingly and voluntarily waives the appointment of counsel.
