Navigating Divorce in Wisconsin
Divorce marks a significant life transition and often involves addressing multiple legal and personal issues. In Wisconsin, a no-fault divorce state, either spouse can initiate proceedings by citing an irretrievable breakdown of the marriage. While the process may seem overwhelming, our experienced attorneys are here to walk you through every step.
Key Aspects of Divorce in Wisconsin
- Property Division
Wisconsin follows the principle of community property, meaning marital assets and debts are divided equally. Our attorneys help ensure an equitable distribution that aligns with your best interests. - Child Custody and Placement
Determining custody and placement is often the most emotional part of divorce. We work to establish arrangements that prioritize your child’s well-being while advocating for your parental rights. - Child Support
Child support calculations follow state guidelines, considering each parent’s income and time spent with the child. We’ll help you navigate the system to secure a fair outcome. - Spousal Maintenance (Alimony)
Maintenance may be awarded to address financial disparities between spouses. Our attorneys will help you pursue or contest spousal support based on your circumstances. - Mediation and Negotiation
Whenever possible, we encourage mediation to resolve disputes amicably, saving time, money, and emotional strain. Our team facilitates productive discussions to reach mutually beneficial agreements. - Litigation When Necessary
If disputes cannot be resolved through negotiation, we are prepared to represent your interests in court, advocating vigorously for your rights and goals.
