What is a contested divorce?
A contested divorce is a traditional adversarial divorce process where you and your lawyer have to go to court to ask a judge to make orders regarding issues that you and your spouse cannot agree on. Those issues may include child placement and custody, financial support such as child support or alimony and division of assets and debts. This is the most expensive type of divorce process because it is the most time consuming and also the most contentious.
How Contested Divorce Works in Wisconsin
The process is going to take longer than the other types of divorce cases, simply because there’s more contention and court hearings do take a long time.
On average, a contested divorce is going to take nine to 12 months from start to finish.
We’re going to maintain excellent communication with you throughout the process. We’ll communicate electronically via telephone as well as in person or via video conference. So you always feel that you’re connected to your divorce team.
