Don’t only look at fact of incarceration Nature of Crime committed Type of sentence imposed Unable to have visitation solely because incarcerated. Show which matters were within control of M. T.

Nature of the crime committed by parent The length of sentence The Type of sentence imposed Parents’ level of cooperation with responsible agency. Parent’s level of cooperation with DOC Best interests of the child. Was the victim vulnerable The age of victim In appropriateness of phone contact Type of care provided to the child when parent had opportunity
Jodie W., 293 Wis. 2nd 530

Where There Probation Violations? What Were They? Did They Relate To Parenting Issues? Did It Result In Parent Not Being Available To Parent Or Participate In Programs? Was Parent Warned About This Ahead Of Time? If Parent Wrote Letters, Were They Age Appropriate For Child? Were They Sent To The Child? If Letters Send To Other Person, They Inquire About The Child, The Health, The Progress, Etc? After Release Or When Out Of Jail/Prison What Did Parent Do In Relation To The Child? Did They Assume A Parental Role? Did They Ignore The Child? Did They Visit? Did They Demonstrate Interest In The Child? Cards, Gifts, Any Birthdays Or Holidays Occur? What Did The Parent Do, When They Were Not Incarcerated? Did parent financial contribute to or for the child? Did the parent by its choices/ behaviors – remove himself/herself from the care of the child
Dakota L.G. 2011 Wis App 136
Consider any support or care Consider any lack of support or care o [Lack of opportunity is NOT a defense] Reasons for lack of Involvement may be considered for TOC [totality of circumstance analysis]

No time period specified. Other Issues Counseling – Individual – group – AA – Urine drops/screening, - no domestic violence – maintain contact
with children Home or environment – free of domestic violence and no drinking Number of times children removed and returned home and why? Father has been in and out of jail – when out of jail what did he do? Visitation has been sporadic.
