No, not without a court order. Even if both parents give permission the adult in question will have to petition the court for guardianship. Under the law, a person who does not have legal guardianship of a minor cannot enroll the child in school, obtain medical care for the child, and so forth. A court will not allow a child to move out of the parental home nor appoint a guardian unless their is proof of abuse or neglect. In either case a DFS/social worker will be appointed to investigate the claim, and report the findings to supervisory staff and/or family court.

Who gets custody if both parents die but they are divorced and I live with my dad and my brother lives with my mom?
If a person is designated as the custodian in the parents' will(s), then that person is likely to be granted the custody. If however, there was no will, or no custodian specified in the will, then, then the court can appoint a custodian of its own choice. Usually, any of the relatives - uncles, aunts, grand parents, step parents, and even friends and strangers can apply for the custody. It is the responsibility of the court to choose the custodian. In case there are no will, or no custodian specified, and no petitions, then the court may put the children in foster care. This answer is actually independent of the marital status of the parents, and which child is living with whom at the time of the parents' death.

If parents have joint custody of a child is the mom entitled to child support?
In Wisconsin, it depends on who has physical placement of the child. It may also depend on who has the higher income of the both parents.
