Wisconsin is a community property state, meaning all spousal assets are split 50/50 in a divorce. One exclusion is property that has been gifted to an individual spouse or property inherited.

If your spouse has been a dependent for a large portion of your marriage, you may have to pay spousal support until they can support themselves. This ensures that each party has a fair share of divided finances.

Depending on the custody arrangement and if you see your child less than 25% of the time, you may be obligated to pay child support. Speak to a Divergent child custody lawyer to know your parental rights.

The amount of child support you may have to pay is determined by a percentage of your income. Check out Divergent Family Law Firm's child support calculator to get a free estimate.

Custody will be awarded based on each parents ability to care for the child. In joint custody agreements, children are supported by parent they are in the care of. If a parent has sole custody, then the other parent will have to pay child support even when the child is not in their custody.

You can expect an average of 6 to 12 months for child custody to be determined. It may take 6 to 8 weeks for a preliminary court hearing to occur after you have applied for custody.

Your spending habits, hidden assets, romantic relationships, text messages, emails, and more might all be questioned in a divorce. Hire an experienced divorce lawyer to fight for your rights and get the settlement you deserve.
