Types of Divorce
In Wisconsin
Wisconsin is a no-fault divorce state, meaning the only necessary ground for divorce is an irretrievable breakdown of a marriage. In other words, you can call a spade a spade without having to prove fault on one side or the other.
Uncontested
Divorce
Most divorces in Wisconsin are uncontested, meaning no courtroom litigation. Uncontested divorces are also referred to as stipulated divorces.
Even if you and your soon-to-be-ex agree on the big issues like division of assets, child custody, and allocation of debts, it’s still in your best interest to hire an experienced divorce lawyer before taking legal action.
Our divorce mediation lawyers get to know you and your priorities and make recommendations based on our in-depth understanding of Wisconsin divorce law.
