Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
Except as provided in s. 938.028 (3), nothing in this
chapter deprives another court of the right to determine the legal
custody of a juvenile by habeas corpus or to determine the legal
custody or guardianship of a juvenile if the legal custody or
guardianship is incidental to the determination of an action pend-

ing in that court. Except as provided in s. 938.028 (3), the jurisdiction of the court assigned to exercise jurisdiction under this
chapter and ch. 48 is paramount in all cases involving juveniles
alleged to come within the provisions of ss. 938.12 to 938.14.
