Divorce: Contested and Uncontested Proceedings in Wisconsin
Ending a marriage can be one of life’s most difficult experiences. Whether your divorce is contested or amicable, the legal process involves intricate issues such as property division, spousal maintenance, and parenting arrangements. Weguide you through Wisconsin’s divorce laws, including options like mediation and collaborative divorce, to find the best resolution for your situation.
Helpful links:
Division of Marital Property and Assets
As the name implies, marital property and assets are anything earned, acquired, or otherwise accumulated during the marriage. This includes homes, cars, household furnishings, shares in businesses, and money in financial accounts. Each state approaches the division of marital property and assets differently. Whereas some follow the rule of equitable property division, dividing everything on a reasonable basis, marital property in Wisconsin is divided evenly. This can create a dilemma, in which one spouse may end up with more or less than what they actually deserve.
Maintenance and Alimony
Post-divorce financial stability can be challenging, especially if you relied on your spouse’s income or paused your career for the marriage. If you qualify, you may be entitled to spousal maintenance (alimony). Our attorneys fight for fair support arrangements that help you maintain your quality of life.
Child Custody And Visitation
Child custody issues often arise in divorce or between unmarried couples. In the Wisconsin Family Court, the term ‘custody’ generally refers to the right to make legal decisions on the child’s behalf, such as regarding their education or religious upbringing. Placement refers to where they will live and rights regarding visitation. Both are important issues for parents and require having an experienced Madison family law attorney on your side.
Child Support
Providing financial support for your children is a legal obligation. Our firm helps you obtain appropriate child support and ensures payments are made consistently and on time.
Paternity Proceedings
For unmarried parents, establishing paternity is essential. It not only secures visitation and child support rights but also grants your child access to important benefits, including medical history and inheritance rights. Our attorneys assist you every step of the way through Wisconsin paternity proceedings.
Relocation and Custody Modifications
If you have an existing custody order but plan to move, you must seek court permission to relocate with your child. Our family law attorneys handle these sensitive cases carefully to protect your parental rights and comply with legal requirements.
Legal Separation in Wisconsin
Legal separation can provide temporary relief and preserve your rights without ending the marriage immediately. This option suits clients hesitant to divorce due to religious beliefs, financial considerations, or personal reasons.
Military Divorce and Family Law
Military families face unique challenges in divorce, spousal support, and child custody cases. Our Madison family law attorney is experienced in handling these specialized matters to protect your legal and financial interests.
Other Family Law Matters
Beyond divorce and custody, our attorneys handle adoption, pre- and post-marital agreements, name changes, and a variety of other family court issues. Whatever your situation, we ensure your rights and interests are safeguarded.
